SIBI-P1 Translation H200-01
in his foolishness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + feminine singular construct noun אִוֶּלֶת + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִוֶּלֶת denotes the state or quality of folly derived from the root אול ('to be foolish, act imprudently'). The construct form with a 3ms suffix yields 'his foolishness,' and the prefixed ב marks location or sphere, hence 'in his foolishness.' |
