SIBI-P1 Translation H6963-11
the sounds
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with definite article (הַ); no suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning to call out or produce sound; in the masculine plural with the definite article, it denotes multiple audible expressions. "The sounds" preserves both the plurality and the broad acoustic sense inherent in the root. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
the sounds
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | P1 gives 'the sounds', which is a faithful rendering of קֹלוֹת. Since SILEX allows for 'sounds' and both 'thunder' and 'sounds' are possible, keeping as 'sounds' preserves the textual distinction SIBI seeks. |
