SIBI-P1 Translation H1931-12
he
| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun, 3rd person masculine singular, independent form (subject/emphatic). |
| Rendering Rationale | This is the third person masculine singular independent personal pronoun. The concise rendering "he" preserves its core pronominal sense while reflecting masculine singular morphology; intensive or demonstrative nuances belong to contextual usage, not the isolated form. |
