uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠אֶת־הַ֠⁠חֲזִיר כִּֽי

and=DOM the,pig that/for/because/then/when

The word because indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [Likewise, you shall not eat the pig. This is because]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠אֶת־הַ֠⁠חֲזִיר

and=DOM the,pig

This pig is a hoofed swine with a flat snout for rooting in the soil. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ⁠אֶת־הַ֠⁠חֲזִיר

and=DOM the,pig

The expression the pig does not refer to a specific animal. It describes any pig that an Israelite might encounter. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And any pig]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

כִּֽי־מַפְרִ֨יס פַּרְסָ֜ה ה֗וּא וְ⁠שֹׁסַ֥ע שֶׁ֨סַע֙ פַּרְסָ֔ה

that/for/because/then/when divided hoof he/it and,has_a_split cleft_of hoof

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [because it is dividing the hoof in a way that splits the cleft of the hooves completely]

Note 5 topic: writing-poetry

מַפְרִ֨יס פַּרְסָ֜ה ה֗וּא

divided hoof he/it

See how you translated these repeated words in [11:5](../11/05.md).

Note 6 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠שֹׁסַ֥ע שֶׁ֨סַע֙ פַּרְסָ֔ה

and,has_a_split cleft_of hoof

Here, words are being repeated for emphasis. The verb splitting comes from the same root as the noun cleft. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [and the cleft if the hoof is totally split]

Note 7 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠ה֖וּא גֵּרָ֣ה לֹֽא־יִגָּ֑ר

and=he cud not chew

Here, words are being repeated for emphasis. Here, the verb chew comes from the same root as the noun cud. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [but it itself does not chew the cud]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

וְ⁠ה֖וּא גֵּרָ֣ה לֹֽא־יִגָּ֑ר

and=he cud not chew

This expression uses the word itself to emphasize that the pig does not chew the cud. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: [but the pig itself does not chew the cud]
