SIBI-P1 Translation H3709-05
in my palm-hollow
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular construct noun כַּף + 1st common singular pronominal suffix; literally "in the hollow of me." |
| Rendering Rationale | כַּף denotes the curved, concave hollow formed by bending, especially the palm of the hand. The construct form with 1cs suffix yields "my palm," and the prefixed בְּ adds "in," preserving both root imagery and morphology. |
