SIBI-P1 Translation H560-08
to say
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Peal (simple active) stem; infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal infinitive construct expresses the verbal action in its simple form; with the prefixed לְ it denotes purpose or intent, hence "to say." This preserves the core root sense of verbal expression without contextual expansion. |
