SIBI-P1 H6172-02
the bareness of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state from עֶרְוָה; occurs with a following genitive to specify whose or what kind of bareness is in view. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ערה ("to uncover, lay bare"), so "bareness" preserves the underlying sense of exposedness rather than a purely abstract idea of shame. The form is feminine singular in the construct state (HNcfsc), which is reflected by the singular "bareness" followed by "of," indicating possession or specification. |
