SIBI-P1 Translation H802-25
to women
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + common noun, feminine plural absolute (נָשִׁים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine plural of אִשָּׁה (woman), derived from אישׁ, here with prefixed לְ indicating direction or relation ("to/for"). "To women" preserves the feminine plural form and the basic relational force of the preposition without adding contextual nuance. |
