SIBI-P1 Translation H6341-03

spread-out snares

Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine plural absolute from פַּח (pach).
Rendering RationaleThe plural masculine noun derives from the root meaning "to spread out, beat thin," referring to devices laid flat—either thin metal plates or traps. "Spread-out snares" preserves both the root idea of flattening/spreading and the common extended sense of traps, while reflecting the masculine plural form.
