SIBI-P1 Translation PFX-L-02
to them (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (lamed, "to/for") + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; HR/Sp3mp. Functions as an indirect object, marker of direction, possession, or advantage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") prefixed to the third-person masculine plural pronominal suffix הם ("them"). The rendering preserves the directional sense of ל and explicitly reflects the masculine plural person and number indicated by Sp3mp. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
to them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The Hebrew preposition לְ with the pronominal suffix is best rendered as 'to them' in this context, indicating the direction of the question, rather than the more generic 'them'. |
