SIBI-P1 H1706-07
and sticky-sweet honey
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to a common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; singular and indefinite in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּבַשׁ derives from a root conveying stickiness or gumminess, hence sweetness. Rendering it as "sticky-sweet honey" preserves this sensory root sense, while the prefixed conjunction וּ is reflected in "and." The form is masculine singular absolute, which is maintained in the singular English noun. |
