from boundary of

Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to feminine singular construct noun שְׂפַת.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

from lip of

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleChanged from 'from boundary of' to 'from lip of' because in this context, שָׂפָה refers to speech (i.e., lips) rather than a physical boundary, matching the common meaning and silex_definition.
