| Rendering Rationale | The noun כָּנָף derives from the root meaning "to cover, conceal," and refers to a wing or projecting covering edge. The construct singular with prefixed בְּ expresses "in the covering-edge of," preserving both the spatial sense and the root-derived concept of a protective or projecting extremity. |
