SIBI-P1 H68-02

his building-stones

Morphological NotesCommon 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 RationaleThe 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."
