Morphological NotesPreposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a common masculine singular noun; forms include both absolute (Ncmsa) and construct (Ncmsc) states, depending on syntactic context.
Rendering RationaleThe noun גְּבוּל (masculine singular) derives from the root גבל, conveying the idea of bounding or enclosing. The prefixed לִ indicates direction or relation (“to/for”), and the singular form is preserved in “a boundary-line,” which reflects the concrete sense of a cord or line marking a limit.
