SIBI-P1 H8184-04

bristled barley-grains

Morphological NotesHebrew common feminine noun, plural absolute (HNcfpa) from lemma שְׂעֹרָה. Though the lemma can function with masculine associations when referring to grain, this form is morphologically feminine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root שׂער, referring to hairiness or roughness, highlighting barley’s characteristic bristled husk. The form is a feminine plural absolute noun (שְׂעֹרִים), so the rendering preserves the plural sense with “grains,” reflecting multiple units of the crop.
