SIBI-P1 Translation H1104-10
my swallowing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct conveys the simple verbal action "to swallow," and the 1st person common singular suffix makes it possessive, yielding "my swallowing." This preserves the root sense of engulfing or consuming while reflecting the attached suffix. |
