    In Isaiah 3:23, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in a list with tablets, linens, and turbans; the APB renders the list with “the veils.” In Song of Songs 5:7, the masculine singular construct form is the item the keepers of the walls took away; the APB renders the clause “took away my veil.”
