SIBI-P1 Translation H889-03
his stench
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּאֹשׁ denotes the result of the root באש—an offensive odor arising from decay or putrefaction. The construct form with a 3ms pronominal suffix requires the rendering "his stench," preserving both possession and singular masculine form. |
