peeling-layer
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Peeling-layer" reflects the noun formed from the root חשף (to strip, peel, make bare), denoting the product of stripping—something peeled off or exposed. The singular construct form indicates a relational noun ("peeling-layer of"), though rendered here in concise form without its complement. |
