SIBI-P1 Translation H1710-08
fish-kind of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular, construct state; collective form derived from דגה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a feminine singular collective in construct state, denoting the class or aggregate of fish rather than an individual. Rendering it as "fish-kind of" preserves both the collective sense and the construct relationship indicated by the morphology. |

over the fish kind
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'fish-kind of' is awkward; 'over the fish kind' preserves the class/collective aspect of the Hebrew while correcting the prepositional phrase for English syntax and context. |
