Genesis 38: 2 contains the phrase BT )Y$ KN(NY.
If this is an appositional phrase, KN(NY would be a noun: “daughter of a
man, a Canaanite”.
But if this is an adjectival phrase, KN(NY would be an adjective: “daughter
of a Canaanitish man”.
At Genesis 38: 2, is KN(NY a noun or an adjective, or is it unclear? What
rules of Hebrew grammar apply to determine whether KN(NY is a noun or an
adjective in this type of situation?
