SIBI-P1 Translation H1739-01
sickened woman
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective דָּוָה denotes a feminine singular state of bodily sickness or weakness derived from the root דוה (“to be sick, to languish”). Rendering it as "sickened woman" preserves both the feminine singular morphology and the core idea of physical debility, including its frequent association with menstrual impurity. |
