SIBI-P1 Translation H8581-16
he utterly detests
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the verbal action, conveying strong, active revulsion rather than mild dislike. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he utterly detests," preserving both the intensity of Piel and the singular masculine subject. |
