SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-50
to my eyes
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + noun עַיִן (common, dual, construct) + 1cs suffix = "to my eyes." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן in dual construct with a 1st person singular suffix yields "my eyes," and the prefixed לְ adds the sense "to/for." The rendering preserves the anatomical and perceptual sense of "eyes" rather than abstracting to "sight." |
