SIBI-P1 Translation H1261-02
and hail-dappled ones
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + adjective, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root meaning "hail," evoking a coat patterned as if scattered with hailstones. The masculine plural absolute form is reflected by the plural sense "ones," preserving number while conveying the hail-like mottling. |

and patchy ones
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and hail-dappled ones' is overly technical; 'and patchy ones' is more idiomatic for the animal markings described and supported by the silex_definition. |
