SIBI-P1 Translation H4372-01
in covering-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state (מִכְסֶה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִכְסֶה derives from כסה ("to cover") and denotes something that covers or shelters. The prefixed בְּ adds "in/with," and the construct singular form is preserved by rendering it "covering-of," indicating a covering belonging to or associated with another noun. |
