SIBI-P1 Translation H4541-07
poured metal image
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular absolute; prefixed conjunction וּ (“and”) in surface forms but lexeme is singular feminine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root נסך (“to pour, cast”) and denotes something formed by pouring, especially molten metal into a mold. "Poured metal image" preserves the root sense of pouring and reflects the feminine singular absolute noun referring to a cast object. |
