Common Translation
| Phrase | their lips |
SIBI-P1 Translation H8193-26
their lips
| Morphological Notes | Feminine dual noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "edge/boundary," concretely expressed as the lips—the boundary of the mouth. The dual feminine construct form with 3rd masculine plural suffix yields "their lips," preserving both dual number and possessive morphology. |
