    In Leviticus 13:55, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the pronouncement following the priest's examination of a plague that has not changed or spread. The APB renders the surrounding clause, “it is a spreading in its bald spot or in its bald spot,” but the translation does not make the noun's individual English contribution fully clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Leviticus 13:55, the APB presents the relevant clause as “it is a spreading in its bald spot or in its bald spot.” That wording cannot securely identify a single English rendering for the noun.
