SIBI-P1 Translation H4549-02
to melt away
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, infinitive absolute; passive/intransitive verbal form expressing the state or process of being melted or dissolved. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or intransitive sense, indicating the subject undergoes melting or dissolution. The infinitive absolute preserves the verbal idea in its intensified, non-finite form, thus "to melt away" reflects both root meaning and morphology. |
