coarse-weave sacks

Morphological NotesMasculine common plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from שַׂק (saq). The plural ending -ים marks masculine plural with no pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root associated with mesh or loosely woven material that allows liquid to pass through. Rendering it as "coarse-weave sacks" preserves this material sense while reflecting the masculine plural absolute form ("-ים") indicated by the morphology.
