SIBI-P1 H68-02
his building-stones
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine noun in plural construct form (אֲבָנֵי/אֲבָנָי) with 3ms pronominal suffix; literally "stones of him." Feminine plural is preserved in English as "stones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶבֶן (stone) is traditionally connected to the root בנה (to build), reflecting the idea of something used for construction and establishment. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, so "his building-stones" preserves the plural feminine sense and explicitly includes the possessive "his." |
