SIBI-P1 Translation H4546-02
in the raised causeways
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + feminine plural absolute noun (מְסִלּוֹת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְסִלּוֹת is the feminine plural of a mem-derived noun from סלל, denoting something built up or raised. Rendering it as "raised causeways" preserves the elevated, engineered character inherent in the root, and the prefixed ב with article is reflected in "in the." |
