SIBI-P1 Translation H310-06
behind her
| Morphological Notes | Preposition from אַחַר with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; spatial/temporal relational term. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition derives from the root meaning "to be behind" or "to come after," expressing spatial or sequential following. The 3rd feminine singular suffix "-הָ" specifies the reference as "her," yielding "behind her" in a root-faithful way. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
after her
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'behind her' to 'after her' because in this context it refers to pursuing or following in sequence, not just spatially but as an action following another. 'After her' matches both the common and the figurative nuance. |
