SIBI-P1 Translation H802-51
and your woman
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun, feminine singular construct of אִשָּׁה + 2ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִשָּׁה denotes an adult female human, derived as the feminine counterpart to אִישׁ (man). In construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix and prefixed conjunction, it yields "and your woman," preserving feminine singular form and masculine possessive address. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and your wife
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In this narrative context, אִשָּׁה with possessive suffix refers to 'wife;' 'and your woman' (P1) is root-faithful but 'wife' is contextually and SILEX-supported here. |
