Exegesis
The modifier al-raglohi di parzela ve-khaspa {עַל־רַגְלֹהִי דִּי פַרְזְלָא וְחַסְפָּא} specifies ‘feet’ composition, and ve-haddeqet himmon {וְהַדֵּקֶת הִמּוֹן} uses a feminine singular verb with a plural suffix to express collective crushing. English renderings preserve the participial aspect and relative clause structure to reflect agent and instrument relationships.
