SIBI-P1 Translation H802-18
to the women
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article + feminine plural absolute noun (irregular plural of אִשָּׁה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the irregular feminine plural of אִשָּׁה ('woman'), derived from the root אישׁ. The prefixed לַ indicates the preposition 'to/for' with the definite article, and the plural form נָשִׁים preserves the feminine plural morphology. |
