SIBI-P1 Translation H8191-04
and my cherished delights
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine plural noun in construct state + 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׁעְשֻׁעַ denotes objects or experiences that embody delight; the plural construct with first common singular suffix yields "my delights." The reduplicated form conveys intensity, hence "cherished delights," and the prefixed וְ adds "and." |
