SIBI-P1 Translation H5870-03
like eyes of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְ ("like/as") + feminine plural construct noun (Aramaic) from עין. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן is feminine plural in construct (עַיְנֵי), meaning "eyes of," and the prefixed כְ adds the comparative sense "like." The rendering preserves both the plural construct form and the comparative prefix. |
