Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֵ⁠אִשָּׁ֣ה זָרָ֑ה

from,woman forbidden

See how you translated strange woman in 2:16.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִ֝⁠נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה

from,wayward

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “to keep you from the foreign woman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ֝⁠נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה אֲמָרֶ֥י⁠הָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה

from,wayward words,her smooth

See how you translated the same clause in 2:16.
