SIBI-P1 Translation H3966-01
with great intensity
| Morphological Notes | Adverb מְאֹד with prefixed preposition בְּ (“in/with”); functions adverbially to intensify degree or force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form מְאֹד denotes intensity or extremity; the prefixed בְּ adds the sense of "in/with," yielding an adverbial expression meaning "with intensity" or "in great measure." This preserves both the root idea of force/abundance and the prefixed preposition. |
