SIBI-P1 Translation H4740-02
the cut-off corner
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַ + מַקְצוֹעַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the definite masculine singular form with "the" and reflects the root idea of something cut or trimmed to form an angular extremity. "Cut-off corner" retains both the spatial sense of a corner and the etymological notion of trimming or defining an edge. |
