SIBI-P1 Translation G1067-03
of Gehenna
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form indicates possession or association, rendered as "of Gehenna." Using the transliterated proper name preserves its rooted identity as the Valley of Hinnom and its developed meaning as a realm of judgment without importing later doctrinal terms. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
Gehenna
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1's 'of Gehenna' does not match the direct transliteration of the proper noun as the SILEX definition suggests. P2 uses 'Gehenna' per translation standard for proper geographic names. |
