In Ezekiel 27:20, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the statement that Dedan was a trader; the APB renders the verse, “Dedan was your trader in saddle blankets.” This supports a spread or covering item in that commercial setting, though the translation does not identify which English word corresponds specifically to the noun.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 27:20, the APB presents the commercial context as trade “in saddle blankets,” but it is a whole-verse translation and does not isolate the term's specific rendering.
