SIBI-P1 Translation G1038-01
to a hide-worker
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS): denotes a single male hide-worker functioning in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root βυρσ- (hide, skin) with the agentive sense "worker," preserving the trade identity. The dative masculine singular form is conveyed by "to a," marking the indirect/objective case in English. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
a tanner
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context requires an occupation: 'a tanner' matches the silex_definition and the referent; 'hide-worker' is a less common English rendering and does not align as closely with the established meaning in context. |
