SIBI-P1 H2346-16
to the enclosing-wall
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common feminine singular absolute (חוֹמָה). No pronominal suffix; definite by article assimilation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חוֹמָה (feminine singular absolute) derives from a root conveying the idea of joining or enclosing for protection. The prefixed לַ combines the preposition ל ("to") with the definite article, yielding "to the." "Enclosing-wall" preserves the root sense of joined protective structure while reflecting the feminine singular noun. |
