SIBI-P1 H251-10
my brother
| Morphological Notes | HNcmsc/Sp1cs: Hebrew Noun common masculine singular construct with 1st person common singular suffix (“-î,” my). Some occurrences appear without the suffix in construct form but contextually function as direct address (“O my brother”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח means “brother,” expressing close male kinship or covenantal solidarity. The form אָחִי / אֲחִי consists of the masculine singular noun in construct with a 1st person common singular pronominal suffix (-ִי), yielding “my brother,” preserving both the masculine singular sense and the personal possession indicated in the morphology. |
