SIBI-P1 Translation H251-28
like his brother
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix; prefixed preposition כְּ (“like/as”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח in masculine singular construct with a 3ms suffix yields "his brother," and the prefixed כְּ adds the comparative sense "like/as." The rendering preserves the kinship-based root meaning and the masculine singular possession. |
