so.kh denotes a protective figure or object in Nahum 2:6, though its precise clause-level contribution is not isolated by the translation.

The single attestation presents so.kh as a masculine singular noun associated with protection, but the supplied translation does not isolate its specific contribution within the scene of opened river gates and a melting temple.

    In Nahum 2:6, the form סֹּכֵֽךְ is a common masculine singular absolute noun in a clause whose supplied APB rendering says, “The gates of the River are opened, and the temple melts.” The verse supports a protective referent at gloss level, while the translation does not identify a distinct English equivalent for the noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Nahum 2:6, the APB renders the surrounding scene as “The gates of the River are opened, and the temple melts,” but it does not clearly mark a separate English rendering for the noun.
