Common Translation
| Phrase | of my lips |
SIBI-P1 Translation H8193-16
my two lips
| Morphological Notes | Feminine dual noun in construct state + 1st common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "boundary" or "edge," concretely referring to the lips as the boundary of the mouth. The dual feminine construct form with a first common singular suffix is preserved as "my two lips," reflecting both the dual number and possessive morphology. |
