cherished delights
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun, absolute state; derived from a reduplicated intensive pattern of the root שעע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural noun form denotes multiple objects or sources of pleasure. "Cherished delights" preserves the intensive reduplicated pattern of the root and reflects tangible or experienced sources of enjoyment in the masculine plural absolute form. |
