A reed—referring to the tall, slender, jointed stems of grasses that grow in wet areas—used literally for the plant and figuratively for objects made from such stems, such as rods, staffs, measuring sticks, and writing tools. Also refers to a measuring rod or standard of length, a stalk, or shaft of implements, and, by extension, can describe a part of the body (radius of the arm, limb, or bone) or structural/supportive elements (beam, shaft). In certain contexts, it denotes aromatic or valuable plants, such as calamus.

reeds
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute (קָנִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine absolute form denotes multiple physical reeds or reed-stalks. "Reeds" preserves the primary concrete sense of the noun קָנֶה as a tall, jointed stalk, from which extended uses (rod, shaft, measuring stick) derive. |
