SIBI-P1 H8144-06
and scarlet-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction 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 Rationale | The 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. |
