SIBI-P1 Translation H8193-13
edge-of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular, construct state (HNcfsc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "boundary" or "edge," extended to lip and language. In the feminine singular construct state, it denotes "edge of" or "lip of" something, requiring a following genitive and thus rendered as "edge-of" to preserve construct morphology. |
