SIBI-P1 Translation H8561-03
palm forms
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun, absolute state (תִּמֹּרִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תִּמֹּר denotes a palm tree or a stylized palm-shaped architectural feature derived from the root תמר. The feminine plural absolute form is reflected by the plural rendering “palm forms,” which preserves both the upright palm imagery and the potential architectural nuance without narrowing to only living trees. |
