right hand
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יָמִין derives from the root ימן, denoting the right side or right-hand position. Rendering it as "right hand" preserves the concrete, bodily sense inherent in the feminine singular absolute noun while retaining its root connection to rightward strength and direction. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
right side
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted P1 'right hand' to 'right side' to parallel the rendering of 'left side' for שְׂמֹאל, which highlights the spatial directional sense of יָמִין in this context. Minimal, context-sensitive correction. |
