SIBI-P1 H8181-04
bristling hair
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no article or suffix. Functions as a collective singular referring to hair in general or specific body hair depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular mass noun. "Bristling" preserves the root sense of שׂער—something rough, tossed, or dishevelled—highlighting hair as that which stands out or is shaggy rather than using a flat gloss like "hair." |
