SIBI-P1 Translation G4666-01
myrrh resin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS) — a single feminine noun in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "myrrh resin" reflects the specific aromatic gum from the Commiphora tree, preserving its material and cultic sense rather than a generalized perfume. The accusative feminine singular form indicates it functions as a singular direct object, which does not alter the English form but is noted morphologically. |
