SIBI-P1 Translation H3254-10
may she cause to add
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect/jussive, 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative force to the root יסף (“to add/increase”), yielding “cause to add.” The 3rd feminine singular jussive is reflected by “may she,” preserving both gender and volitional nuance. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
add
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context (tosef in jussive form with al), the meaning is 'add'; 'may she cause to add' is not an English imperative or jussive, and 'add' preserves the verbal function in minimal form. |
