SIBI-P1 H2346-04
in the joined protective-walls of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine plural noun in construct state (Ncfpc) with prefixed preposition בְ ("in"). The construct form indicates it governs a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root conveying the idea of joining or enclosing, hence a structure formed by joined elements for protection. Rendering it as "joined protective-walls" preserves this root sense of enclosure and defense. The form is feminine plural construct with the prefixed preposition בְ ("in"), so the translation reflects plural number ("walls") and construct relationship ("of"). |
