SIBI-P1 Translation H577-02
where?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative particle/adverb; indeclinable; no gender or number; used to question place or direction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אָן derives from the root אין, expressing absence or non-presence, and functions as an interrogative adverb asking about the location or direction of someone or something. "Where?" preserves its core sense of inquiring about whereabouts without adding contextual nuance. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
please
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 was incorrect; 'anah' is an entreaty particle ('please') in prayer contexts, not an interrogative ('where?'). |
| P1 Flag | wrong root/Strong's error: P1 incorrectly rendered interrogative rather than entreaty particle. |
