SIBI-P1 Translation H7470-01
according to desire-of
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, feminine singular construct, with prefixed preposition כְּ ("according to/as"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רְעוּת (feminine singular construct) means "desire" or "will" from the root רעה. The prefixed כִּי/כְּ functions as "according to," and the construct state requires the sense "desire-of" something, preserving both the root meaning and grammatical form. |
