SIBI-P1 Translation H4938-04
his support-staff
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to lean on" and denotes the instrument upon which one leans. The feminine singular construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix is preserved by rendering it as "his" plus a singular object of support. |
