the arrows
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with prefixed preposition ב + definite article ("in/with the"). |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
with arrows
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The Hebrew preposition ב suggests 'with' rather than just 'the'; the collective sense is best rendered 'with arrows' to match both context and the typical translation of the phrase. Adjusted for correct prepositional usage in context. |
