SIBI-P1 H4291-03
she has arrived
| Root | מטא (m-ṭ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | reaching, arriving, attaining, being present, coming upon |
| Semantic Range | to arrive, to reach, to extend to, to attain, to occur or happen, to be present |
| Conceptual Significance | The root expresses the idea of something reaching its appointed point—whether spatially, temporally, or circumstantially. In biblical usage, this can signal the arrival of a person, the fulfillment of an event, or the realization of a divinely appointed moment. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Qal stem, perfect (completed action), 3rd person feminine singular. The form מְטָת reflects the feminine singular perfect ending in Aramaic. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic root מטא conveys the idea of reaching or arriving at a point or state. As a Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular form, the verb denotes a completed action performed by a feminine subject, hence "she has arrived," preserving both the core sense of arrival and the feminine singular grammar. |
