the hollowed basin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כִּיּוֹר derives from כור, conveying something hollowed out or excavated into a concave form. Rendering it as "the hollowed basin" preserves the root idea of a rounded, excavated vessel and reflects the masculine singular noun with the definite article. |
