SIBI-P1 Translation H1119-01
by means of
| Morphological Notes | Prepositional particle; archaic/poetic expansion of ב with enclitic מוֹ; no gender, number, or person. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the prepositional prefix ב with an archaic/enclitic extension מוֹ, functioning poetically. "By means of" best reflects its core instrumental sense while preserving its prepositional force apart from context. |

of dung
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'by means of' is inaccurate for this usage; the context is instrumental or descriptive, and 'of dung' reflects the agricultural context referenced in the verse. |
