SIBI-P1 Translation H8427-01
and he inscribed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or deliberate act of marking or engraving. The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) 3ms form is rendered as past narrative action, hence "and he inscribed," preserving both stem force and masculine singular subject. |
