I have shown zeal
| Morphological Notes | Piel stem (intensive/active), perfect aspect, first common singular ("I"). The Piel often conveys active, fervent expression of zeal or jealousy rather than a passive state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Piel perfect, first common singular, indicating an intensive or emphatic action completed in the past: "I have shown zeal" or "I have been zealous." Rendering it as "I have shown zeal" preserves the root sense of passionate, protective ardor while accurately reflecting the 1st person singular perfect form. |
