SIBI-P1 H6083-01
dust-soil
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (cmsa) and construct (cmsc) forms. As a mass noun, it functions grammatically as singular even when denoting collective material. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular (absolute or construct), so it is rendered as a singular mass noun. "Dust-soil" preserves the root sense of loose, powdery earth rather than a generalized "earth," maintaining the imagery of fine, dry ground inherent in עפר. |
