SIBI-P1 Translation H7218-25
from the head
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) prefixed to masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ ("head, top"). Rendering it "from the head" preserves the core spatial and hierarchical sense of the root without importing contextual nuance such as "beginning." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from the head
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "from tops of". Hebrew מֵרָאשֵׁי הֶהָרִים literally means ‘from the heads/tops of the mountains.’ The standard rendering “from the head” conveys that same idea and maintains consistency with the chosen mapping for this word form. The current “from tops of” is non‑standard and less idiomatic; the context does not require a different rendering. |
