SIBI-P1 H5518-10
boiling-pot
| Morphological Notes | Common-gender singular noun; appears in both absolute (HNcbsa) and construct (HNcbsc) forms. No pronominal suffixes are attached in the cited occurrences. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root conveying the idea of boiling or surging up, so "boiling-pot" preserves the vivid sense of a vessel associated with seething heat. The form is a singular common-gender noun (absolute or construct), and the rendering reflects this singular sense without adding number or gender markers not present in the Hebrew. |
