SIBI-P1 Translation H1823-02
in his likeness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + feminine singular construct noun דְּמוּת + 3ms pronominal suffix (“his”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּמוּת denotes likeness or resemblance derived from the root דמה (“to be like”). The prefixed ב conveys “in,” and the 3rd masculine singular suffix marks possession, yielding “in his likeness,” preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
