SIBI-P1 Translation H3618-11
her brides
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine plural construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix denotes multiple women who have entered marriage in relation to her. "Brides" preserves the root-derived sense of marital completion, and "her" reflects the attached suffix. |
