SIBI-P1 Translation H5705-01
up to the limit
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (HR); no inflection for gender, number, or person; marks spatial, temporal, or quantitative boundary. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering captures the root idea of continuing or proceeding until a boundary is reached, without restricting it to time or space. As an uninflected preposition, it marks extension to a limit in duration, space, or degree. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
until
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted from 'up to the limit' to 'until,' which fits the temporal usage in this verse as supported by SILEX and context. 'Up to the limit' is not natural here. |
