SIBI-P1 Translation H2513-06
allotted tract of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine singular; construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to divide or apportion," and in its feminine singular construct form it denotes a specific bounded parcel belonging to something else—hence "allotted tract of," preserving both the land-focus and the construct relationship. |
