SIBI-P1 H8193-31
and your two lips
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun feminine dual construct (שְׂפָתֵי) + 2ms pronominal suffix ךָ; literally "and lips-of you (ms)," i.e., "and your two lips." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׂפָה derives from a root conveying the idea of an edge or boundary, hence a "lip" as the boundary of the mouth. The form here is feminine dual construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, so "your two lips" preserves the dual number and the masculine addressee, while retaining the concrete image of the mouth’s boundary edges. |
