SIBI-P1 Translation H4438-17
and in reign of
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state with prefixed conjunction וּ (and) and preposition בְּ (in). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַלְכוּת denotes the state or authority of reigning. The feminine singular construct form requires an implicit relational sense ("reign of"), and the prefixed conjunction and preposition yield "and in reign of," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and in the reign of
