SIBI-P1 Translation H310-04
behind him
| Morphological Notes | Preposition derived from noun אַחַר with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The prepositional form from אחר denotes what is at the rear or following; with the 3rd masculine singular suffix it specifies position or sequence relative to him. "Behind him" preserves the root’s primary spatial sense of being at the rear while reflecting the attached masculine singular pronoun. |

after him
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'After him' is the temporal sense needed in context, rather than 'behind him', which implies spatial placement. |
