SIBI-P1 Translation H7045-04
a despising-curse
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root קלל, conveying the act of making someone 'light' or contemptible, which develops into invoking harm through spoken depreciation. "Despising-curse" preserves both the verbal sense of treating lightly and the resulting maledictory force, while reflecting the feminine singular absolute noun form. |
