SIBI-P1 H2931-09
ritually defiled one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa); functions attributively or predicatively to describe a male person, animal, or object as being in a state of ritual impurity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root טמא, conveying ritual impurity or defilement. The morphology (masculine singular absolute adjective) is reflected by the singular expression "defiled one," preserving its descriptive force toward a single masculine subject while maintaining the root sense of ritual pollution. |
