and a marsh-leaper

Morphological Notes	Common noun, feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed conjunction וּ "and." Though singular in form, it can function collectively in context.
Rendering Rationale	The noun צְפַרְדֵּעַ is feminine singular absolute, here with prefixed conjunction "and." Rendering it as "a marsh-leaper" preserves the singular feminine form and reflects the probable root sense of darting or hopping in a marshy setting, rather than using the generic term "frog."
