SIBI-P1 Translation H5715-03
attestation
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular abstract noun with -וּת suffix; construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to witness" and, with the feminine abstract -וּת suffix, denotes the state or act of bearing witness—thus "attestation." The singular construct form indicates it stands in relation to another noun ("attestation of…"), though the core sense remains abstract and evidentiary. |
