SIBI-P1 Translation H3027-65
their hand
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; singular construct; 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יָד denotes the open hand as the organ of grasping and acting. The singular construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their hand," preserving both singular number and possessive morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'their hand' is too literal. In context, this phrase functions idiomatically for 'them' (the preceding builders). SILEX supports agency and responsibility, but the construction here acts as a pronoun. |
