Both occurrences use the feminine plural absolute form. In Psalm 144:12 the APB renders the comparison of daughters as “like corner pillars carved for a palace”; in Zechariah 9:15 it renders a filling comparison “like the corners of an altar.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural form as “corner pillars” in Psalm 144:12 and as “the corners of an altar” in Zechariah 9:15. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
