>Can Sarah, <u>who is ninety years old</u>, bear a son? - (Genesis 17:17-18 ULB)
>How can Sarah, <u>who is ninety years old</u>, bear a son? (Genesis 17:17 ULB)
The phrase "who is ninety years old" is the reason that Abraham did not think that Sarah could bear a son.

### Translation Strategies
If people would understand the purpose of a phrase with a noun, then consider keeping the phrase and the noun together. For languages that use words or phrases with a noun only to distinguish one item from another, here are some strategies for translating phrases that are used to inform or remind.
1. Put the information in another part of the sentence and add words that show its purpose.
1. Use one of your language's ways for expressing that this is just added information. It may be by adding a small word, or by changing the way the voice sounds. Sometimes changes in the voice can be shown with punctuation marks, such as parentheses or commas.
