SIBI-P1 H3684-08
for a thick-headed man
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular adjective used substantivally ("fool"), absolute state, with prefixed preposition ל (“for/to”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כְּסִיל derives from the root כסל, conveying the idea of thickness or dull heaviness, which metaphorically extends to stupidity or moral insensibility. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition ל (“for/to”), so the rendering preserves both the masculine singular sense (“man”) and the metaphor of dull thickness (“thick-headed”). |
