SIBI-P1 Translation H6030-07
intensively responding
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Piel stem (intensive); infinitive absolute, functioning adverbially or for emphasis. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel infinitive absolute conveys an intensified or emphatic action of the root ענה. Rendering it as "intensively responding" preserves the core sense of vocal reply while reflecting the intensive stem and non-finite infinitive form. |
