sprinkling-basin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute; instrumental formation with prefixed מ indicating a tool or implement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The instrumental mem prefix marks this as a tool used for the action of the root זרק (to sprinkle/scatter). "Sprinkling-basin" preserves both the function (for sprinkling) and its identity as a vessel, reflecting the masculine singular absolute noun form. |
