| Phrase | to kindle |
SIBI-P1 Translation H2787-03
to kindle intensely
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pilpel stem (intensive/reduplicated), infinitive construct with prefixed ל |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ח־ר־ר conveys burning or becoming hot. In the Pilpel stem, the action is intensified or iterative, and as an infinitive construct with ל it expresses the act "to intensely kindle," preserving both the root sense of burning and the stem’s force. |
