SIBI-P1 Translation H4449-01
he declared
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pael (intensive active), perfect, 3rd person masculine singular (Aramaic). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מלל denotes speaking or uttering words in Aramaic. The Pael stem often carries an intensive or emphatic nuance, so "he declared" reflects a strengthened act of speaking in the 3rd masculine singular perfect form. |
