a woven-up basket
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). No pronominal suffix. The construct form links it possessively to a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סַל derives from the root סלל, "to heap up" or "build up," reflecting something constructed by piling or weaving materials together. "Woven-up basket" preserves the root idea of something built up or heaped together, while the singular form reflects the masculine singular noun (absolute/construct) indicated in the morphology. |
