SIBI-P1 Translation H8357-01
Appointed One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name); no suffixes or modifiers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root שִׁית meaning "to put/place/appoint" and is likely a passive formation, conveying "one who is placed or appointed." Rendering it as "Appointed One" preserves both the root sense and its function as a proper masculine singular name. |

buttocks
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'Appointed One' is a root/Strong's error. The correct sense is 'buttocks' as per the anatomical reference in context. |
| P1 Flag | root/Strong's error: misidentified as a name (should be 'buttocks', not 'Appointed One'). |
