SIBI-P1 Translation H3930-01
in your gullet
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular construct noun לֹעַ + 2ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֹעַ denotes the anatomical channel for swallowing, derived from the root meaning "to swallow." The construct form with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, preceded by the preposition ב, yields "in your gullet," preserving both root sense and morphology. |
