SIBI-P1 Translation H8085-76
her hearer
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle denotes a masculine singular "hearing one" in construct form, and the 3rd feminine singular suffix marks the object as "her." "Her hearer" preserves both the participial sense and the pronominal suffix. |
