pig
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a domesticated pig or wild boar as an animal species; since the etymology is uncertain and not transparently derived from a productive root, the rendering reflects the primary lexical sense. The masculine singular absolute form is preserved by the simple singular English noun. |
