Overturn!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd masculine singular calls for a direct command to perform the root action of הפך—turning or reversing something. "Overturn!" preserves the active, transformative force inherent in the root and reflects the masculine singular imperative form. |
