SIBI-P1 Translation H1124-03
to build
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal stem (simple active), infinitive construct with prefixed ל preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal infinitive construct expresses the verbal idea in its basic active sense, and the prefixed ל marks purpose or direction, yielding the straightforward infinitive "to build." This preserves the core root meaning of physical construction or establishment. |
