uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

קְֽצַר־אַ֭פַּיִם

short_of temper

The phrase short of nostrils is an idiom that refers to a person who becomes angry quickly. The word nostrils means “anger” by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose, causing his nostrils to open wide. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “One who easily vents his spleen” or “One who becomes angry quickly”
