SIBI-P1 Translation H4978-01
gifts
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural absolute (Aramaic form corresponding to Hebrew מַתָּנָה). |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root נתן (“to give”), this noun denotes things given. The feminine plural absolute form is reflected in the simple plural “gifts,” preserving the sense of multiple given items without narrowing the type of giving. |
