Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠לֶב

in/on/at/with,heart_of

See how you translated the same use of heart in [2:2](../02/02.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֣ישׁ

(a)_man

Although man is masculine, here it refers to any person in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “a person”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַשְׁחֶ֑⁠נָּה

weighs_~_down,it

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠דָבָ֖ר ט֣וֹב

and,word good

Here Solomon uses the phrase good word to describe something kind that someone says by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but a kind message that someone speaks”
