SIBI-P1 Translation H7139-06
she will become bald
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular form expresses a simple future or incomplete action. Rendering it as "she will become bald" preserves the core intransitive sense of the root in the Qal stem while reflecting feminine singular morphology. |
