olive-tree
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a singular concrete noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זַיִת is a common masculine singular absolute form. Rendering it as "olive-tree" preserves the concrete botanical sense inherent in the Hebrew term, which can denote the tree itself as well as its fruit and oil. The singular form reflects the masculine singular morphology (HNcmsa). |
