| Phrase | our-brothers |
SIBI-P1 Translation H251-09
our brothers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 1st person common plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח in masculine plural construct form (אַחֵי) with a 1st person common plural suffix (-נוּ) yields "brothers of us," hence "our brothers." This preserves the masculine plural and the possessive relationship inherent in the morphology. |
