SIBI-P1 Translation H4480-09
from you (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מן with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (Sp2mp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition מן conveys separation or source (‘from, out of’), and the attached 2nd person masculine plural suffix כם specifies the source as ‘you’ (masculine plural). This preserves both the root sense of separation and the full pronominal morphology. |

from you
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The context is partitive, sending one out of the group; 'from you' matches idiomatic English better than 'from you (masculine plural)'. |
