SIBI-P1 Translation H2565-01
male donkey
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun, absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a masculine singular form referring specifically to the male of the donkey species. The rendering "male donkey" preserves both the gender distinction inherent in חֲמוֹר and its established semantic development from the root חמר, likely linked to reddish coloration. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
heap
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'male donkey' is a root/Strong's mapping error. The correct sense here is 'heap' (Strong's H2565), as the repeated wordplay contrasts 'donkey' and 'heap.' |
| P1 Flag | Root/Strong's mapping error: should be H2565 'heap', not H2543 'male donkey'. |
