to disguise oneself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpael (reflexive) stem; infinitive absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | In the Hithpael (reflexive) stem, the verb expresses the subject acting upon himself; from the root idea of careful searching, it develops the reflexive nuance of concealing or masking oneself so as to be searched for. The infinitive absolute form conveys the verbal idea in its pure, intensified sense. |
