to uncover
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal stem (simple active), infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal (simple active) infinitive construct with prefixed לְ expresses purpose or action in its basic sense: "to uncover." This preserves the root idea of removing a covering, from which senses like deportation or revelation extend. |
