SIBI-P1 H8184-04
bristled barley-grains
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew 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 Rationale | The 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. |
