SIBI-P1 H5518-02

in the upshooting-thorn

Morphological NotesPrefixed preposition ב with definite article (בַּ־) + noun common feminine singular absolute from סִיר. Though the form appears plural in spelling, the provided morphology identifies it as feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root conveying the idea of boiling up or surging forth, which metaphorically extends to thorns that spring up rapidly. The prefixed בַּ־ indicates "in the," and the morphology identifies the noun as feminine singular absolute, so the rendering preserves the singular sense while reflecting the root idea of rapid upsurge.
