bone
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine; singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֶּרֶם denotes a single rigid structural bone, reflecting the hard, bare framework beneath flesh derived from the root idea of bareness or gnawing down. The masculine singular absolute form is preserved by the simple singular rendering "bone." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
strong-boned one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'bone' is too literal; the Hebrew is likely describing the donkey as strong-boned or sturdy rather than just 'bone.' Adjusted to match contextual use for an animal's physical attribute. |
