SIBI-P1 H68-25
to a building-stone
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a feminine singular noun in construct form (Ncfsc). The form אֶבֶן is morphologically feminine singular; construct and absolute forms are identical here. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶבֶן derives from the root בנה ("to build"), reflecting a stone as a fundamental building element. Rendering it "building-stone" preserves this root connection, and the preposition לְ with the feminine singular form is conveyed by "to a" with a singular noun. |
