SIBI-P1 Translation H6763-02
in a side of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ + feminine singular noun in construct state (common noun). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צֵלָע denotes a "side" or lateral structural element, derived from the idea of being on one side. In construct singular with the prefixed preposition בְ, it yields the sense "in a side of," indicating location within or along a lateral part of something. |
