SIBI-P1 H929-03
a mute beast
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa). Though grammatically feminine, it often functions as a collective term for livestock or large animals. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root likely meaning "to be mute" or "speechless," highlighting the animal’s lack of human speech. The form is a feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa), so the rendering preserves singular number with "a" and reflects the lexical sense as a single beast characterized by muteness. |
