SIBI-P1 Translation H8034-19
to names of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, construct state, with prefixed ל preposition ("to/for"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם in masculine plural construct form (שְׁמוֹת) means "names of," and the prefixed ל adds the prepositional sense "to/for." This preserves the core idea of established designations or identities in a construct relationship. |
