SIBI-P1 H5640-03
he has stopped up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense: to stop up or shut. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a male subject. "He has stopped up" preserves the concrete root sense of blocking or sealing while accurately reflecting the singular masculine subject and completed aspect of the verb. |
