SIBI-P1 H4325-11
for the waters of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine plural construct noun מֵי from מַיִם. Though מַיִם is formally a dual/plural form, it often functions as a collective singular; in construct it becomes מֵי. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֵי is the masculine plural construct form of מַיִם ("waters"), here preceded by the preposition לְ ("for/to"). Rendering it as "for the waters of" preserves the plural form and the construct relationship, indicating that it governs a following noun ("waters of …"). |
