SIBI-P1 Translation H6963-32
sounds
| Morphological Notes | Masculine common noun, plural, absolute state (קוֹל → קֹלוֹת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine absolute noun form requires an English plural. "Sounds" preserves the broad root sense of audible utterances or noises without narrowing it to a specific type such as thunder or speech. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
thunder
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'sounds' to 'thunder' because the context (weather, hail, divine punishment) specifies thunder as the intended type of sound. Both the common definition and the silex_definition support this as the correct nuance here. |
