SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-180
the one knowing us
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, construct form with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix ("us"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular is rendered as a verbal adjective, "the one knowing," and the 1st person common plural suffix is preserved as "us." This maintains the root sense of experiential and perceptual knowledge while reflecting the participial form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
knows us
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Simplified to 'knows us' for idiomatic and contextual accuracy; 'the one knowing us' is unnecessarily literal and less natural in context of rhetorical questions about anonymity of action. |
