SIBI-P1 Translation H530-10
steadfastnesses
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural, absolute state; abstract quality noun from the root אמן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from אמן, expressing the quality of firmness and reliability. The feminine plural absolute form requires a plural rendering, thus "steadfastnesses," preserving both the abstract quality and the plural morphology. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
faithfulnesses
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'steadfastnesses' is technically accurate but 'faithfulnesses' better matches the context, especially in Proverbs, where 'emunot' usually means faithfulness or trustworthiness as a quality of the person described in the previous word. |
