UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

פְּנִינִ֑ים

costly_stones

See how you translated corals in 3:15.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠כְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר שִׂפְתֵי־דָֽעַת

and,jewel precious lips knowledge

Here Solomon speaks of the value of lips of knowledge as if they were a vessel of preciousness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but lips of knowledge are as valuable as a vessel of preciousness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שִׂפְתֵי־דָֽעַת

lips knowledge

See how you translated this phrase in 14:7.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וּ⁠כְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר

and,jewel precious

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a vessel that is characterized by preciousness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “but … are a precious vessel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠כְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר

and,jewel precious

Solomon contrasts abundance in the previous clause with preciousness in this clause in order to imply that lips of knowledge are rarer and more valuable than gold and corals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but … are a vessel that is even more precious than those”
