SIBI-P1 Translation H1159-01
his formal petition
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic feminine singular noun in construct state + 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the Aramaic root בעא ('to seek, request') and denotes the thing sought—a formal request or petition. The feminine singular construct form with a 3ms pronominal suffix is reflected by the possessive "his." |
