torn prey
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives directly from the root meaning "to tear or seize," denoting what has been torn or snatched. "Torn prey" preserves the violent, resultative sense of the root and reflects the masculine singular absolute form as a single concrete object. |
