good
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state; may function adjectivally, substantivally, or adverbially depending on usage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine singular absolute adjective directly expresses the root idea of positive quality or benefit. "Good" preserves the broad root sense of excellence, desirability, or beneficial character without narrowing it to a specific context. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and good
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted to add 'and' per the vav-conjunction present in Hebrew; P1 omits the conjunction, but context requires 'and good' to reflect both meaning and Hebrew structure. |
