UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ֭⁠תִּשְׁכַּח כִּי

and,forgets that/for/because/then/when

Yahweh is speaking of an ostrich as if it could consciously forget than an animal might crush her eggs if she left them on the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it does this even though”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

תְּזוּרֶ֑⁠הָ & תְּדוּשֶֽׁ⁠הָ

crush,them & trample,them

The pronoun it refers in both of these instances to the ostrich’s eggs, which Yahweh described in the previous verse. It may be more natural in your language to use plural pronouns for the eggs. Alternate translation: “might crush them … might trample them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רֶ֣גֶל תְּזוּרֶ֑⁠הָ

foot crush,them

Yahweh is using one part of an animal, its foot, to mean all of it in the act of stepping on the eggs of an ostrich. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “an animal might step on them”
