SIBI-P1 Translation H4291-06
he will arrive
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Peal (simple stem), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal imperfect 3ms form denotes a simple, intransitive future action: “he will arrive” or “he will reach.” “Arrive” preserves the root’s core sense of coming to be present at a point or destination without adding transitive force. |
