SIBI-P1 Translation H639-14
in his nostrils
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine dual noun in construct form + 3ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun אַף denotes the nose and, in its dual form, specifically the two nostrils (אַפַּיִם). The construct dual with a 3rd masculine singular suffix (אַפָּיו) means "his nostrils," and the prefixed בְּ adds "in," yielding "in his nostrils." |
