   In Exodus 26:19, plural absolute forms occur under the boards, with two placed beneath each board for its tenons; the APB renders the clause “two sockets under one board.” Construct plural forms likewise accompany pillars and their fittings in Exodus 27:10. In Song of Songs 5:15, the same construction is used in the comparison of legs as pillars founded upon bases.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Across the construction passages, the APB commonly renders the term as “sockets,” including fittings of silver or bronze beneath boards and pillars. In Song of Songs 5:15 it renders the image with “bases”; because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these English terms describe the verse-level presentation rather than separate lexical meanings.
