A prominent, elevated area, hill, or height; by extension, a specific geographic district, region, or elevated range. Additionally, a winnowing sieve, probably so called because of its raised or elevated rim.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5299-01
in upland of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + feminine singular construct noun (נָפָה); construct state requires a following genitive relationship ("of"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נָפָה denotes an elevated or prominent area derived from the root meaning "to lift" or "be prominent." The construct singular form requires "of," and the prefixed ב adds the sense "in," yielding "in upland of" as a root-faithful rendering. |

with sieve
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'in upland of' is incorrect here; the sense is the winnowing/weaving sieve, as per the context and SILEX. Corrected to 'with sieve.' |
