| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular expresses a completed action: something has reached its termination point. "Has come to an end" preserves the root idea of cessation or disappearance while reflecting the completed aspect of the perfect form. |
