SIBI-P1 Translation H5186-09
cause to incline
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative force, so the imperative calls the hearers (2nd person masculine plural) to cause something to incline, bend, or turn. "Cause to incline" preserves the root sense of directed extension or bending while reflecting the causative morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
incline
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P2 chooses 'incline' as a more natural imperative for context rather than 'cause to incline'. The SILEX definition supports this direct rendering for imperative usage. |
