| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa). Functions as a simple singular noun without article or suffix; derived from a verbal root denoting hissing or puffing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶפְעֶה is a masculine singular absolute form derived from a root associated with hissing or puffing. Rendering it as "a hissing viper" preserves both the zoological reference and the root imagery of a serpent characterized by its threatening hiss, while maintaining the singular masculine form. |
