SIBI-P1 Translation H853-08
from him
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן + direct object marker אֵת with 3ms pronominal suffix; particle used pronominally in prepositional construction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the direct object marker אֵת carrying a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, yielding a prepositional pronoun meaning "from him." The rendering preserves the masculine singular suffix while recognizing that אֵת functions grammatically as a marker rather than a lexical noun. |
