SIBI-P1 Translation H2004-01
in them (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + independent/emphatic pronoun הֵן (3rd person feminine plural), functioning as prepositional object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition בְּ/בָּ ('in') with the emphatic third-person feminine plural pronoun הֵן, yielding 'in them' with explicit feminine plural agreement. This preserves both the locative preposition and the gender-number specificity of the suffix. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'In them' suffices for the 3fp pronoun, as contextually the reference is to the vessels (plural feminine). The parenthetical 'feminine' in P1 is unnecessary for the SIBI rendering. |
