| Phrase | lip-his |
SIBI-P1 Translation H8193-23
his lip
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 3ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is feminine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, yielding "his lip." The rendering preserves the primary concrete sense of שׂפה as the lip, the natural boundary of the mouth, while reflecting the attached possessive suffix. |
