SIBI-P1 Translation H559-15
in my saying
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of אמר with prefixed ב preposition and 1cs pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct of אמר with a 1st person singular suffix denotes the act of speaking as possessed by the speaker, while the prefixed ב conveys "in" or "during." "In my saying" preserves the verbal action and the pronominal attachment without contextual expansion. |
