Sarai's relationship with her Father In-Law Tᵊrᵊhʰ, and her Brother Abvrᵊm, prior to Becoming His Wife.
ויקח תרח את אברם בנו ואת לוט בן הרן בן בנו ואת שרי כלתו אשת אברם בנו ויצאו אתם מאור כשדים ללכת ארצה כנעו ויבאו עד חרן וישבו שם
ויקח And He Took,
(תרח את Tᵊrᵊhʰ That is)
את Specifically
אברם בנו Abvrᵊm His Son,
ואת לוט And Lot, Who was
בן בנו the Son of His Son,
בן הרן the Son of Hᵊrən,
ואת שרי כלתו and his Spouse Sarai
who became
אשת אברם בנו the Wife of his Son Abvrᵊm
and he went forth with them from ᵊUr (the East) of כשדים (Kᵊsʰdîyᵊm), [the Chaldean, Kʰᵊltdî (Celtic)], to go into the land of Kᵊnəʰŋn; and they came unto Hʰᵊrən, and dwelt there. [Bᵊrəʰsʰᵊyîtʰ (Genesis) 11:29-31]
This rendering leaves כלתו -Daughter In-Law- both in the Glean, and Contextually implied, where it belongs, whereas the KJV reading should have rendered כלתו as Spouse, or Wife, which would have made it contextually clear, that Sarai was the surviving Widow of Hᵊrᵊn;
The following passage clearly places Sarai as the Sister of Abvrᵊm who Became His Bride, indicating, they were Brother and Sister Prior to Abvrᵊm Taking Sarai as His Wife,
• And yet indeed She {Sarah} is My Sister; She is the Daughter {In-Law} of My Father {Tʰᵊrəhʰ}, but not the Daughter of My Mother; and she {the Daughter of Tʰᵊrəhʰ) Became my Wife. [(Genesis) 20:12]
Without this clarification this passage looks like it is declaring Sarai to be the (Paternal Biological) Half Sister of Abvrᵊm (who Kept the Tʷrutʰ, which clearly States...)
'The Nakedness of your Sister, the Daughter of your Father, or Daughter of your Mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their Nakedness you shall Not Uncover. [ref., (Leviticus) 18:9]
• ....Abvrᵊhəm Obeyed My Voice, and Kept My Ordinances, My Commandments, My Statutes, and My תורת Laws. [(Gen) 26:5]
Thus Sarai, (the Barren Daughter In Law of Tʰᵊrəhʰ), was the surviving Widow of Hᵊrən, who had not Born him a Male Child, and it was Abvrᵊm who took Sarai (his Sister In-Law) as his Wife that he may perform the Duty of a Brother In-Law.
I suspect that Lot who (was not the Son of Barren Sarai) was born unto Haran from a Concubine.
At either rate, there is no other apparent reason in the (historical) context to mention Sarai being Barren without a Male Child, whereas the written context (that introduces Sarai into the narrative) is relating unto the reader a list of living Survivors which (the Deceased) Hᵊrən had left behind, to continue in the migration of Terah.
