I-crush-them
To crush, pulverize, or break into very small pieces, often to the point of becoming dust or powder. Used both in physical contexts (such as grinding or pounding materials) and metaphorically (for humiliation or utter defeat). The term can describe literal actions performed on materials, such as metals, stones, or grains, as well as figurative actions—especially God's judgment resulting in total destruction or reduction to insignificance.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1854-01
I will pulverize them
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 1st person common singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—causing something to become crushed or reduced. The imperfect first person singular with a third masculine plural suffix yields "I will pulverize them," preserving both causative force and object. |
