arriving (feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Qal stem; active participle; feminine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מטא denotes reaching or arriving. As a Qal active participle feminine singular, it is rendered as a verbal adjective, preserving both the intransitive sense of arrival and the feminine singular morphology. |
