Psalm 45/Notes/Lexical.v. 2.872187

v. 2 – Although pen (עֵ֤ט) is suggested as the English gloss here, as a common writing tool, it should be borne in mind that in the world of the Psalms, עֵט was different from modern pens, being a "reed of about 20 centimeters long and sharpened on one end and split to form a nib; sometimes made of a rush cut at an angle and then frayed to form a fine brush; ► used for making marks with ink on writing material" (SDBH).
