a blemish
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix or article in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular count noun, "a blemish." This preserves the core idea of the root מום—something stained, marred, or defective—whether in a physical or moral sense. |
