SIBI-P1 H8242-08
coarse-weave sacks
| Morphological Notes | Masculine common plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from שַׂק (saq). The plural ending -ים marks masculine plural with no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
