SIBI-P1 H860-06
to the enduring she-donkey
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ with definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa). The form denotes a specific female donkey as the object of the preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָתוֹן is feminine singular, here with the prefixed לְ and definite article, yielding "to the." Rendering it "enduring she-donkey" preserves the likely connection to איתן (enduring, firm) while clearly reflecting the feminine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
