may you add

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative) stem, jussive conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem expresses a causative action of adding or increasing, and the 2nd masculine singular jussive conveys a volitive sense, hence "may you add." This preserves both the root meaning of augmentation and the specific verbal force.
