SIBI-P1 H6738-08
for shade
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). No pronominal suffix; singular and absolute in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צֵל is a masculine singular absolute form meaning "shade" or "shadow," derived from the root צלל, conveying the idea of darkening or casting shadow. The prefixed לְ indicates purpose or benefit ("for"), so "for shade" preserves both the root sense of protective shadow and the singular masculine form. |
