SIBI-P1 Translation H3807-02
he smashed to pieces
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive), perfect aspect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or forceful action, so "smashed to pieces" reflects deliberate, thorough crushing. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he" plus a completed action. |
