SIBI-P1 Translation H6388-04
divided channels
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּלֶג derives from the root meaning "to divide/split," referring to water that branches off from a larger source. The masculine plural absolute form is rendered as "divided channels" to preserve both the plural morphology and the root idea of parted or branching watercourses. |
