SIBI-P1 Translation H3422-02
sickly yellow-green
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state; reduplicated form intensifying or nuancing the base color term from ירק. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of greenness (ירק) while reflecting the reduplicated form’s nuance of an ambiguous, unhealthy green-yellow hue. As a masculine singular adjective, it describes something characterized by this discolored greenish tone. |
