dry straw-stalk
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קַשׁ denotes the dry stalks gathered after harvest, derived from the root meaning "to gather" (dry stalks). Rendered in the masculine singular absolute as "dry straw-stalk" to preserve both its agricultural concreteness and its root connection to gathered harvest remnants. |
