   In Isaiah 3:22, the feminine plural occurs among robes, over-tunics, cloaks, and purses; the APB renders the clothing list “The robes and the over-tunics and the cloaks and the purses.” In Ruth 3:15, the feminine singular names the item on the woman that she holds out while barley is measured into it; the APB renders, “Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it out.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the item as “cloaks” in Isaiah 3:22 and as “the cloak” in Ruth 3:15. These renderings confirm the scenes without establishing finer distinctions.
