habitually twisted one

Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular, absolute; reduplicated form expressing intensified or habitual quality.
Rendering RationaleThe reduplicated form intensifies the root הפך (to turn, pervert), describing a person characterized by persistent moral twisting or instability. The masculine singular adjective is rendered as "one" to preserve its personal, descriptive force.
