SIBI-P1 Translation H8074-11
devastating one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Poel (intensive), active participle, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Poel stem gives an intensive/active sense, and the masculine singular active participle denotes one who actively brings about desolation or horror. "Devastating one" preserves the root idea of causing desolation while reflecting the participial form. |
