SIBI-P1 Translation H2940-01
according to the taste-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְ ("according to/like") + masculine singular construct noun טַעַם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַעַם in masculine singular construct means "taste" or "perception of," and the prefixed כְ conveys comparison or conformity ("according to" or "like"). Rendering it as "according to the taste-of" preserves both the construct relationship and the root’s sensory-perceptual core. |
