marsh-reed
| Morphological Notes | Masculine common singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes reed-grass or marsh vegetation, especially along the Nile. Rendering it "marsh-reed" preserves the ecological sense of wetland growth inherent in the term while reflecting its masculine singular absolute form (a single instance of such vegetation, without article or suffix). |
