habitually goring
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state; denotes a habitual or characteristic quality. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from נגח ('to gore, butt') and denotes a fixed, habitual quality rather than a single act. Rendering it as 'habitually goring' preserves the root sense and reflects its masculine singular adjectival form describing an animal characterized by repeated aggression. |
