belly-womb
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). No pronominal suffix; number and gender are singular feminine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּטֶן is a feminine singular absolute form, so the rendering is singular and reflects its concrete sense. "Belly-womb" preserves the root idea of a hollow inner cavity while highlighting its frequent reference to the womb as the life-bearing interior. |
