SIBI-P1 Translation H759-01
elevated royal citadels of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (HNcmpc) from אַרְמוֹן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root רום (“to be high, exalted”) by using “elevated,” and captures the noun’s sense of grand, fortified administrative residences with “royal citadels.” The plural construct form is preserved by the plural noun followed by “of.” |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
palaces
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Simplified from 'elevated royal citadels of' to 'palaces' because the context is the destruction of grand, official buildings, and 'palaces' is the most contextually faithful and direct rendering. The extra specificity in P1 was unnecessary and not supported by the surrounding narrative. |
