Phraseof your husband

SIBI-P1 Translation H376-19

your man

Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine singular construct + 2nd feminine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אִישׁ denotes a male individual or person, and in construct with a 2nd feminine singular suffix it means "man of you," i.e., "your man." This preserves the root sense of an individual male while reflecting the singular construct form with 2fs pronominal suffix.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

your husband

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleWhile P1 'your man' is technically literal, the context is clearly of a marital relationship, and the SILEX definition allows 'husband'; 'your husband' reflects this more precisely for this relationship.
