the building-stones
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הָ + noun אֲבָנִים, common feminine plural absolute from אֶבֶן ("stone"). No pronominal suffix; definite by prefixed article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֲבָנִים is feminine plural absolute with the definite article ("the stones"). Rendering it "the building-stones" preserves its plural feminine form and highlights its etymological connection to the root idea of building (cf. בנה), reflecting stones as fundamental construction elements. |
