SIBI-P1 Translation H4910-18
ruling-ones of
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural conveys "those who are ruling" in an ongoing sense. The construct state requires a following complement ("of"), so "ruling-ones of" preserves both the participial force and the relational structure. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
ruling-ones of
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | P1 correctly provides a participial construct meaning, and 'ruling-ones of' preserves the specificity in SILEX. It is not simplified to 'rulers' as P1's specificity is supported by the definition. |
