SIBI-P1 Translation H2417-05
in living ones
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic masculine plural common noun, absolute state, with prefixed preposition בְ ("in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the masculine plural absolute form of חַי used substantivally, meaning "living ones" or "those who are alive." The prefixed בְ adds the sense "in," yielding "in living ones," preserving both the plural form and the root sense of vitality. |
