SIBI-P1 Translation H2656-03
objects of desire
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to delight in, to desire" and in plural absolute form denotes multiple things that are desired or valued. "Objects of desire" preserves the objective nuance of things that are the focus of delight or will, while reflecting the masculine plural morphology. |
