to drink
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; expresses the verbal action in an absolute or emphatic form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal infinitive absolute of שׁתה, expressing the simple action of drinking. The infinitive absolute preserves the verbal idea in its pure, uninflected form, so the rendering "to drink" reflects the root meaning without contextual modification. |
