SIBI-P1 H4731-03
the sprout-staffs
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix; plural form מַקְלוֹת with dagesh in ק from root formation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַקֵּל derives from a root associated with sprouting or shooting forth, hence a branch or rod cut from living growth. Rendering it "sprout-staffs" preserves this organic, growth-based sense rather than a generic "stick." The form is masculine plural absolute with the definite article ("the"), which is reflected in "the sprout-staffs." |
