shelter-booths

Morphological NotesNoun, common; feminine; plural; absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is the feminine plural absolute form of סֻכָּה, derived from the root סכך meaning "to cover" or "to shelter." "Shelter-booths" preserves both the structural sense (booths/huts) and the root idea of protective covering, while reflecting the plural form.
