Footnotes
עִיר דָּמִים ('city of bloods') uses the Hebrew plural דָּמִים, which consistently signals violent, culpable bloodshed rather than blood in a neutral sense — the plural intensifies the moral indictment. כַּחַשׁ ('deception') and פֶּרֶק ('torn prey/plunder') are paired as blunt parallel nouns; the F.O.G renders them as staccato hammer-blows ('lies and loot') to mirror the Hebrew rhythm, while the F.O.G Message expands to convey the city's insatiable predatory character.
