my head
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ means "head" in its primary physical sense, extended to top or foremost. The construct form with 1st person singular suffix yields "my head," preserving both the root meaning and possessive morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
my head
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "of my head". The Hebrew possessive here is the same word form elsewhere rendered “my head.” “Of my head” is a stylistic variant, not required by the context or grammar, so the standard “my head” is accurate and should be used for consistency. |
