polished tablet

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (cmsa) and construct (cmsc) states. No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms.
Rendering RationaleThe noun ל֫וּחַ derives from a root associated with shining or polishing, referring to a smooth, glistening surface. Rendering it as "polished tablet" preserves this underlying sense of a smoothed, prepared slab. The morphology (HNcmsa/HNcmsc) indicates a masculine singular noun in absolute or construct form, which is reflected by the singular English rendering.
