SIBI-P1 Translation H7121-45
calling one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, hence "calling one" to reflect the root idea of vocal summoning or proclaiming. This preserves both the verbal force and participial form without reducing it to a finite verb. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
calling one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "one calling". The Hebrew phrase (אֵין קוֹרֵא) is the normal participial expression “no one calling.” The standard rendering “calling one” accurately represents the same Hebrew form and meaning; the verse context does not require the inverted “one calling” for grammatical or semantic clarity, so the standard should be used for consistency. |
