dâbar
when I speak
To speak, communicate, or express something verbally; to relate, report, or declare. The verb דָּבַר (dābar) primarily indicates the act of speaking or communicating, emphasizing the content and purpose of what is said, often in formal, deliberate, or consequential contexts. It can also, in less common usages, bear the sense of 'to lead,' 'to arrange,' or 'to deal with' and, very rarely, 'to destroy' or 'to subdue,' likely as an extended or specialized sense.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1696-06
in my speaking
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, infinitive construct with prefixed בְּ preposition and 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel infinitive construct with first common singular suffix denotes "my speaking," and the prefixed בְּ conveys "in" or "when." Rendering it as "in my speaking" preserves both the morphology and the root sense of deliberate verbal communication. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
when I speak
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Temporal clause ('when I speak') is supported by the form and context, as per the common translation and silex_definition. 'In my speaking' is too literal here. |
