SIBI-P1 Translation H3783-01
stumbling-collapse
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כִּשָּׁלוֹן denotes the event or state resulting from stumbling (כשל), so "stumbling-collapse" preserves the root idea of loss of footing while expressing the resulting downfall. The masculine singular absolute form indicates a single instance or state of such collapse. |
