SIBI-P1 Translation H8045-11
I annihilated
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, perfect conjugation, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—"to cause to be annihilated"—and the perfect 1st person singular form specifies "I" as the agent. "I annihilated" preserves both the causative force and the root’s emphasis on total destruction. |
