SIBI-P1 H8144-06

and scarlet-of

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form links this noun to a following genitive (e.g., "scarlet thread").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שְׁנִי is masculine singular in the construct state, indicating "scarlet of" something that follows (often thread, yarn, or fabric). Rendering it as "scarlet-of" preserves both the construct relationship and the material sense tied to the crimson dye, while "and" reflects the prefixed conjunction וּ.
