SIBI-P1 Translation H1855-07
and she pulverized
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Haphel (causative), perfect, 3rd person feminine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Haphel (causative) perfect 3rd feminine singular form conveys that a feminine subject caused something to be crushed or reduced to fine particles. "Pulverized" preserves the root sense of thorough crushing while reflecting completed action, and "she" marks the feminine singular subject; the prefixed conjunction is rendered as "and." |
