SIBI-P1 Translation H310-06
behind her
| Morphological Notes | Preposition from אַחַר with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; spatial/temporal relational term. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition derives from the root meaning "to be behind" or "to come after," expressing spatial or sequential following. The 3rd feminine singular suffix "-הָ" specifies the reference as "her," yielding "behind her" in a root-faithful way. |
