SIBI-P1 Translation H3650-01
intense darkenings of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun in construct state; intensive reduplicated formation from כמר; attested only in plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The reduplicated form כִּמְרִיר intensifies the root idea of darkening or blackness, conveying extreme obscuration. The masculine plural construct is preserved by rendering it as a plural noun with "of," reflecting its bound state. |
