SIBI-P1 Translation H853-03
them (object-marked, feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle with 3rd person feminine plural pronominal suffix (HTo/Sp3fp); functions as definite accusative pronoun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a direct object marker; with the 3rd person feminine plural suffix it becomes an accusative pronoun. The rendering "them (object-marked, feminine)" preserves its grammatical role and specifies the feminine plural morphology. |
