SIBI-P1 Translation H1826-05
he has silenced us
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 1st person common plural suffix; causative action directed toward "us." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the verb means "to cause to be silent" or "to cause to cease." The perfect 3ms with 1cp suffix yields "he has silenced us," preserving both the causative force and the plural object. |
