SIBI-P1 H2091-20
shimmering gold
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; typically a mass noun though grammatically singular. No pronominal suffix in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular mass noun in English. "Shimmering gold" preserves the core idea of radiance and gleam embedded in the root זהב, rather than treating it as a mere material term. |
