SIBI-P1 Translation H3227-02

right-side man

Morphological NotesMasculine singular gentilic noun (absolute); adjectival form with -ִי indicating association or origin.
Rendering RationaleThe gentilic form יְמִינִי derives from the root ימן ("right side/hand") with the adjectival ending -ִי, denoting one belonging to or characterized by the right side. As a masculine singular noun, "right-side man" preserves both the root sense and the gendered morphology.
