SIBI-P1 H4735-09

acquired herd of

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct state; from the root קנה. The construct form links it to a following noun indicating possession (e.g., "the acquired herd of X"). Though grammatically singular, it often functions as a collective for livestock.
Rendering Rationaleמִקְנֶה derives from קנה ("to acquire, purchase"). As a masculine singular noun in construct form (HNcmsc), it denotes that which has been acquired—typically livestock—belonging to someone else in the construct chain. "Acquired herd of" preserves both the root idea of acquisition and the singular construct relationship.
