Demonstrative pronoun indicating a specific object, person, event, or abstract concept, primarily in the feminine singular. Used for 'this one (feminine),' 'this thing,' or 'these' when referring to feminine plural objects. The term also serves adverbially or as a discourse marker to reference what follows ('thus,' 'in this manner') or to denote manner, degree, or as a relative pronoun in rare constructions. Its function extends from concrete reference (identifiable person or object) to more abstract or situational uses (such as referring to an event or category).

SIBI-P1 Translation H2063-05
this (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun, feminine singular (זֹאת) with prefixed preposition כ־ ("as/like"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form כָּזֹאת combines the prefixed preposition כ־ ("as/like") with the feminine singular demonstrative זֹאת. Rendering it as "this (feminine)" preserves the demonstrative force and feminine singular morphology rooted in זה, without importing contextual nuance. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
like this
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "such as this". Hebrew כָּזֶה (kāzeh) is normally rendered “like this.” The context is a rhetorical question and does not require a different nuance—“such as this” is synonymous here and not necessary. For consistency, change to the standard rendering. |
