SIBI-P1 Translation H1697-30
my spoken-word
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר, meaning "to speak" or "declare," and fundamentally denotes something spoken. The construct singular with 1st person common singular suffix yields "my," so "my spoken-word" preserves both the root sense and possessive morphology. |
