SIBI-P1 Translation H8127-06
to the two teeth
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + common noun, dual number, absolute state (dual of שֵׁן). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁן derives from the root meaning "to sharpen" and denotes a sharp, pointed tooth. The dual form שִׁנַּיִם specifies the natural pair, and the prefixed ל adds the sense "to," yielding "to the two teeth." |
