SIBI-P1 Translation H1818-17
her bloods
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (דָּמֵי) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (־הָ) — "her bloods." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דם in the masculine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her bloods," preserving both the plural form (often used for bloodshed or acts of blood) and the possessive suffix. The rendering maintains the concrete root sense of blood while reflecting the morphology precisely. |
