SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-31
from day
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְמִן (from) + noun יוֹם, masculine singular construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition לְמִן (contracted to לְמִ) meaning "from" with the masculine singular construct noun יוֹם (day). The rendering preserves the singular construct form and the basic temporal sense of the root. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from the day
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'from day' omits the definite article. The Hebrew לְמִיּוֹם means 'from the day,' including a specific time reference. Added 'the' for accuracy. |
