SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-67

my eyes

Morphological NotesNoun common (both genders), dual form in construct with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַיִן in the dual construct form with a 1st person singular suffix yields "my eyes," preserving the anatomical sense rooted in seeing and perception. The dual form naturally corresponds to the pair of eyes, while the suffix marks possession.
