SIBI-P1 Translation G5522-01
a heap of loose earth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); functions as a singular object form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea from χέω (to pour), emphasizing something poured out and accumulated. The accusative masculine singular form denotes a single heap as the direct object, preserved here with the singular "a heap." |
