he calls
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of the root "to call/proclaim." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he calls," preserving person, gender, number, and the ongoing or future-oriented verbal aspect. |
