SIBI-P1 Translation H8127-02
with his two teeth
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + noun common, dual construct (שִׁנַּי) + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; literally "in/with his two teeth." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁן derives from the root meaning "to sharpen," referring to a pointed, sharp tooth. The dual construct form with a 3ms suffix, preceded by בְּ, yields "with his two teeth," preserving both the dual number and possessive morphology. |
