SIBI-P1 H1295-01
kneeling-pool of
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state from בְּרֵכָה (bᵉrêkâh). The construct form בְּרֵכַת links the noun to a following genitive ("pool of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ברך (b-r-k), whose core sense is "to kneel." A בְּרֵכָה is thus a pool associated with kneeling—especially where animals kneel to drink. The form is feminine singular construct (HNcfsc), so the rendering preserves singularity and the construct relationship with "of." |
