UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַ֣ךְ מַעְיָ֥ן וּ⁠ב֛וֹר מִקְוֵה־מַ֖יִם

nevertheless spring and,cistern collecting waters

These terms all refer to some flowing source of water as opposed to still, tapped water, for example, as in a cistern. The implication is that although a dead, unclean animal may fall into them, the source of water and the water it produces are still to be considered clean. Express this in whatever way is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “However, any source of flowing water”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

בְּ⁠נִבְלָתָ֖⁠ם

in/on/at/with,carcass,their

Here, their refers to the list of unclean animals. If it would be helpful to your readers, consider making the referent explicit. Alternate translation: “the carcass of any unclean animal”
