in spoken matters
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural absolute noun דְּבָרִים from דבר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּבָרִים is masculine plural absolute from דבר, denoting spoken units or matters; the prefixed ב preposition gives the sense "in" or "with." "In spoken matters" preserves the plural form and retains the root connection to speech while allowing its broader sense of affairs. |
