SIBI-P1 Translation H6-01
utterly destroying
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative active), infinitive absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives the verb an intensive/causative force, shifting from "to perish" to "to cause to perish, to destroy." As an infinitive absolute, it expresses the action in its intensified verbal force, hence "utterly destroying." |
