SIBI-P1 Translation H3173-05
my unique one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular construct with 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective יָחִיד denotes one who is singular or uniquely one-of-a-kind, derived from the root meaning "to be one." The feminine singular form with a first-person common singular suffix yields "my unique one," preserving both the root sense of uniqueness and the possessive morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
my only one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'my unique one' is accurate, but 'my only one' is more idiomatic and contextually fits the poetic plea for the single precious life, aligning with common rendering and the silex_definition. |
