| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), derived from the verbal root בין. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בִּינָה is a feminine singular abstract noun derived from the root בין, "to discern" or "to distinguish." Rendering it as "discernment" preserves the active sense of separating and perceiving distinctions inherent in the root, while accurately reflecting the feminine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology. |
