dripping honeycomb
| Morphological Notes | Masculine noun; occurs primarily as singular absolute (with one construct form attested). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives directly from the root meaning "to flow" or "to drip," referring concretely to the honeycomb as the structure from which honey flows. "Dripping honeycomb" preserves both the physical object and the root sense of flowing sweetness. |
