SIBI-P1 Translation H1165-03
his herd-animal
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from בער in the sense of grazing, denoting a domesticated animal that eats or grazes. The masculine singular construct form with 3ms suffix is preserved as "his herd-animal," reflecting possession and singular morphology while retaining the grazing-based root sense. |
