to loosen
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal (G-stem), infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose/result ("to …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses the verbal idea in its basic stem, here conveying the core root sense of loosening or untying. "To loosen" preserves the primary semantic force from which extended meanings like beginning or dwelling derive. |
