SIBI-P1 H4581-06
a strength-hold
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute and construct states in the cited forms (HNcmsa, HNcmsc). Derived from the root עזז, "to be strong." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular (common noun), reflected by the singular rendering "a strength-hold." This translation preserves the root עזז (ʿ-z-z), conveying strength and might, by explicitly linking the idea of a fortified place to the concept of strength inherent in the root. |
