SIBI-P1 Translation H6471-14
two strokes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine, dual, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to strike" or "to beat," and in the feminine dual form denotes two instances of such a stroke or pulse. The rendering "two strokes" preserves both the root imagery of striking and the dual number indicating repetition twice. |
