and a hollowed wine-vat
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed conjunction וָ ("and"). No article or pronominal suffix present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יֶקֶב is a masculine singular absolute form, here joined with the conjunction "and." Rendering it as "a hollowed wine-vat" preserves the excavated sense embedded in the root יקב (to hollow out) while accurately reflecting its masculine singular, indefinite form. |
