SIBI-P1 Translation H8441-22
and detested thing of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular, construct state, with prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'). Derived substantively from a feminine active participial form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root תעב ('to abhor, detest') and denotes the object that is loathed. As a feminine singular construct with prefixed conjunction, it is rendered 'and detested thing of,' preserving both the construct relationship and the root-based sense of something abhorred. |
