SIBI-P1 H4940-16
from the clan of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated with dagesh) + noun common feminine singular construct (מִשְׁפַּחַת), from מִשְׁפָּחָה. The construct state requires a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the feminine singular construct noun מִשְׁפַּחַת ("clan of"). The rendering "from the clan of" preserves the construct relationship ("of") and reflects the singular feminine noun denoting a specific kinship group. |
