SIBI-P1 H6629-17
a migrating flock
| Morphological Notes | Common gender singular noun in the absolute state; a collective noun referring to small livestock (sheep and goats) as a unit rather than as counted individuals. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is morphologically singular absolute (common gender), functioning as a collective. Rendering it as "a migrating flock" preserves its singular collective form while reflecting the root idea of movement or migration attributed to the underlying root. This avoids the purely generic "sheep" and retains the sense of a gathered herd that moves together. |
