ritual impurity

Morphological NotesNoun, feminine singular absolute; abstract noun indicating a state or condition.
Rendering RationaleThe noun טֻמְאָה derives from the root טמא and denotes the state resulting from becoming unclean. "Ritual impurity" preserves the core idea of cultic uncleanness as a formal status, not merely physical dirtiness, and reflects its singular feminine abstract form.
