Is כנף one word, or is it a prefixed כ on a participle of נוף which has the meaning of “to present, as in setting before, brandishing, waving”?

So with your reconstruction, how would you translate W:(AL K:NAP $IQ.WCIYM  M:$OM"M ?

I had to go back and look up the Hebrew to see what is your transliteration, why didn’t you just write the Hebrew characters?

A possible translation is, “and upon as the presentation (brandishing) the detestable things from the one who is destroying and until the completion that what is determined is poured out upon destruction.” Bad English. Difficult passage to understand.

Any reason why my reading is wrong? I’d like to hear it.

Is there an idiom that I might have missed?
