SIBI-P1 Translation H7789-01
Ashshur
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; absolute form; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp). Rendering it as "Ashshur" preserves the personal name that stands behind the ancestor, people, and imperial entity, without prematurely specifying one contextual sense (land, people, or polity). |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
Assyria
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 rendered אָשֽׁוּר as 'Ashshur' but in this verse the reference is to the place/people, not the verb 'to look attentively'; thus, 'Assyria' is correct for the contextual meaning. P1 had wrong root/Strong's. Corrected from H7789 to H804. |
| P1 Flag | wrong root/Strongs — should be the gentilic/place 'Assyria' (H804), not the verb 'to look attentively' (H7789) |
