SIBI-P1 Translation H4818-12
his chariot
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֶרְכָּבָה denotes a vehicle that is ridden or driven, derived from the root רכב. The construct singular form with a 3ms suffix yields "his chariot," preserving both the root sense of a ridden/driven vehicle and the masculine singular possession. |
