SIBI-P1 Translation H1280-07
her crossbars
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּרִיחַ denotes a rigid sliding bar or bolt that secures a structure, likely named from the root idea of something that moves swiftly. The plural construct form with 3rd feminine singular suffix requires the rendering "her crossbars," preserving both number and possession. |

| Rationale | 'Her crossbars' in P1 is not the standard or most contextually accurate rendering; 'bars' better matches the typical use in poetic descriptions of the earth with enclosing bars. |
