SIBI-P1 Translation H639-16
in my anger
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct form with 1st common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַף denotes the nose and, by extension, anger as expressed through flaring nostrils; with the preposition בְּ it means "in," and the 1st person singular suffix marks possession—"my." The rendering preserves the metaphorical sense rooted in the nose as the seat of anger while reflecting the attached suffix and preposition. |
