SIBI-P1 Translation H1180-01
my lord
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun from בעל with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix; functioning as a proper or symbolic name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the noun בַּעַל (lord, master, owner) with the first person singular suffix –ִי, yielding the possessive sense "my lord." This preserves both the root idea of lordship/ownership and the attached personal relationship expressed by the suffix. |
