SIBI-P1 H4284-09
my reckonings
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun (מַחְשְׁבוֹת) from מַחֲשָׁבָה with 1st common singular pronominal suffix; plural construct form with attached suffix indicating possession ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from חָשַׁב ("to reckon, calculate, devise") and denotes the results of such mental reckoning—plans or intentions. The form is feminine plural with a first common singular suffix ("my"), so "my reckonings" preserves both the plural sense and the possessive while retaining the root’s accounting and deliberative nuance. |
