SIBI-P1 Translation H2677-24
and to the half-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ + noun חֲצִי, masculine singular construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲצִי derives from חצה (“to divide, halve”) and denotes the result of division—a half or midpoint. The prefixed conjunction וְ and preposition לַ, along with the masculine singular construct state, require the rendering “and to the half-of,” preserving both the relational and construct force. |
