SIBI-P1 Translation H376-33
to a woman
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + noun, common feminine singular absolute (אִשָּׁה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְאִשָּׁה consists of the preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to the feminine singular noun אִשָּׁה, the feminine counterpart of אִישׁ. "To a woman" preserves the singular feminine morphology and reflects the root-related sense of an individual female person or wife. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
to her husband
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'to a woman' is incorrect. The pronominal suffix הּ refers back to Naomi, and in this context, the reference is to her husband. Therefore, 'to her husband' accurately conveys the relationship intended in context. |
