SIBI-P1 Translation H2691-14
their enclosures
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural construct + 3mp pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to enclose or fence in," so "enclosures" preserves the core spatial concept without narrowing it to a specific setting. The plural construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix is reflected in "their" and the plural "enclosures." |
