SIBI-P1 H2346-21
and like a joined enclosure-wall
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + preposition כְ ("like, as") prefixed to a common feminine singular absolute noun חוֹמָה ("wall"). No pronominal suffix; singular feminine form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חוֹמָה derives from a root conveying the idea of joining or enclosing, hence a structure formed by joined elements for protection. Rendering it as "joined enclosure-wall" preserves this root sense while reflecting the feminine singular absolute form; the prefixed וּכְ is conveyed by "and like." |
