SIBI-P1 Translation H2524-01
her father-in-law
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָם denotes a wife’s father (male parent of one’s spouse). The masculine singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her father-in-law," preserving both the kinship term and the attached feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
