SIBI-P1 Translation H587-01
we ourselves
| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun, first person common plural (HPp1cp); independent subject form used for collective self-reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | This first person common plural pronoun derives from the self-referential root אנכ and denotes collective self-identification. "We ourselves" preserves both the plural morphology and the inherent emphatic self-reference embedded in the form. |
