SIBI-P1 Translation H802-10
my woman
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִשָּׁה denotes an adult female human as the feminine counterpart to אִישׁ (man). The construct singular form with 1st person common singular suffix yields "my woman," preserving both the feminine singular morphology and the possessive suffix without restricting the sense to marital context. |
