mûwth
to put to death
To die, to cease living; to come to the end of life through natural, violent, or judicial means. Functions both as an intransitive verb (to die, to perish) and, in derived stems, as a causative (to put to death, to kill). The semantic range extends metaphorically to describe the loss of vitality, the end of lineage, or spiritual death, and is used idiomatically for expressing certainty ('to surely die').

to cause to die
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; infinitive construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the root causative, shifting from "to die" to "to cause to die." The infinitive construct form is rendered as an English infinitive, preserving both causative force and verbal function. |
