you will forget
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of losing memory or disregarding. The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form is rendered as "you will forget," reflecting the incomplete aspect directed to a masculine singular subject. |
