SIBI-P1 Translation H802-09
your woman
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine form of אישׁ ('man, individual, husband') and denotes an adult female human. In construct with a 2ms pronominal suffix, it means 'your woman,' preserving both feminine singular form and masculine singular possession without importing contextual assumptions of marriage. |
