remember
To call to mind or remember (something or someone), to think of, recall, or bring to awareness; also, to make mention of, recount, or commemorate; occasionally, to act upon what is remembered. The word can refer to active remembrance in ritual or prayer, verbal mention in speech, or inner recollection. In pi‘el and hiph‘il stems, also refers to causing to be remembered, public commemoration, or record-keeping. Lexically distinct from the related nominal form זָכָר (zâkâr, 'male'), but shares the root as a denominative in a few rare cases.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2142-23
the one who causes remembrance
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil stem, masculine singular active participle, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the participle denotes one who actively causes remembrance or makes mention. The masculine singular active participle is rendered as a verbal noun phrase to preserve both causative force and participial function. |
