SIBI-P1 Translation H8141-44
in a yearly cycle
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + feminine singular noun (construct form) from שָׁנָה; no article; singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנָה denotes a single year as a repeated cycle of seasons; the prefixed ב marks location within that cycle, yielding "in a yearly cycle." The feminine singular form is preserved as a single unit of time. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in the year
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted from 'in a yearly cycle' to 'in the year' to match idiomatic usage for regnal annals; 'in a yearly cycle' is not natural or accurate for the formulaic date expression. |
