forgetfulness
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state; abstract formation indicating the state or result of the verbal root. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Forgetfulness" directly reflects the abstract feminine noun formed from the root נשה, expressing the state or condition resulting from the act of forgetting. The singular absolute form denotes the concept or condition itself rather than an action in progress. |
