SIBI-P1 H4733-03
receiving-place
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the miqtal pattern (מִקְטָל), functioning in both absolute (HNcmsa) and construct (HNcmsc) states. The pattern typically denotes a place or instrument associated with the verbal root action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root קלט, "to take in" or "receive." The miqtal pattern denotes a place characterized by the root action, so "receiving-place" preserves the core sense of a location that takes someone in. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct), which is reflected in the singular English rendering. |
