SIBI-P1 H2005-07

Look—here I am!

Morphological NotesComposed of the demonstrative particle הִנֵּה (from הן) plus the 1cs pronominal suffix ־נִי. The morphology codes (HTm/Sp1cs, HTj/Sp1cs) reflect a particle with attached first common singular suffix, "me." No gender distinction is marked in the 1cs form.
Rendering RationaleThe particle הֵן/הִנֵּה functions as an attention‑calling demonstrative meaning "look" or "behold." With the attached 1st common singular pronominal suffix (־נִי), it becomes "look—me," idiomatically "here I am," preserving both the deictic force of the particle and the explicit first‑person singular presence indicated by the morphology.
