place of casting away
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state; likely a mem-prefixed noun of place formed from the root דחה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from דחה ('to thrust, drive away, reject') and denotes a location characterized by that action. "Place of casting away" preserves the root sense of forcible rejection while reflecting the singular common noun form. |
