SIBI-P1 Translation H8560-01
palm-trunk
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֹּמֶר derives from the root conveying uprightness and tall stature. As a masculine singular construct form, it denotes a single palm trunk in relation to another element, so "palm-trunk" preserves both the concrete image and the root idea of upright form. |
