SIBI-P1 Translation H8141-40
in the year-cycle
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in") + definite article + noun, common feminine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנָה denotes a single annual cycle rooted in the idea of repetition or cyclical return. The prefixed ב with the definite article yields "in the year-cycle," preserving both the singular feminine form and the cyclical sense inherent in the root. |

in the year

| Rationale | Adjusted from 'in the year-cycle' to 'in the year' as 'year' is the most natural and formulaic rendering in this calendrical context; 'cycle' is extra for this usage. |
