SIBI-P1 Translation H5921-46
and upon her
| Morphological Notes | Preposition עַל with prefixed conjunction וְ and 3fs pronominal suffix הָ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עַל conveys elevation or position over/above; with the conjunction וְ and 3rd feminine singular suffix, it denotes relation directed upwardly toward a feminine singular referent. "And upon her" preserves both the ascending-root sense and the feminine singular pronominal form. |
