SIBI-P1 Translation H559-11
my saying
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of אמר with 1cs pronominal suffix; verbal noun with possessive force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct functions as a verbal noun, and with the 1st person common singular suffix it denotes possession—"my saying" or "my speaking." This preserves the core root sense of verbal expression while reflecting the attached pronominal suffix. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I say
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted to 'I say' because the verb is first person singular and contextually refers to the speaker's utterance, matching SILEX definition and context better than 'my saying'. |
