SIBI-P1 Translation H7699-07
her two breasts
| Morphological Notes | Masculine noun, dual number, construct state with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׁד denotes a nourishing breast or udder; the dual form reflects the natural pair, and the 3rd feminine singular suffix adds possession, yielding "her two breasts." This preserves both the anatomical and nourishing sense of the root. |
