SIBI-P1 Translation H8193-24
his lips
| Morphological Notes | Feminine dual noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from שׂפה meaning "lip" as a boundary edge; in the dual construct form with a 3ms suffix, it denotes the paired anatomical lips belonging to him. The English "his lips" preserves the dual sense (naturally expressed as plural in English) and the masculine singular suffix. |
