SIBI-P1 Translation H4763-01
his headrests
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural construct noun (מְרַאֲשׁוֹת) + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix; denominative noun with prefixed מְ-. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ראשׁ ("head") with a mem-prefix forming a concrete object that serves the head. The feminine plural construct form with 3ms suffix requires the rendering "his headrests," preserving both plurality and possession. |
