SIBI-P1 Translation H1571-04
that also
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction שֶׁ (relative/complementizer) prefixed to the adverbial particle גַּם; functions as a connective phrase meaning "that also/even." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the relativizing conjunction שֶׁ ("that/which") with the additive particle גַּם ("also, even"). "That also" preserves both the connective function and the core sense of inclusion or added emphasis. |
