SIBI-P1 Translation H310-07
behind them
| Morphological Notes | Preposition אַחֲרֵי (from אחר) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition derives from the root meaning "to be behind" or "to come after" and here carries a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, yielding "behind them." The rendering preserves the core spatial sense while allowing for temporal extension in usage. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
after them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'behind them' can be correct, but the context (metaphorical pursuit of mediums and spiritists) favors a temporal/figurative sense: 'after them' is standard in this context. |
