he reaches

Rootמטא (m-ṭ-ʾ)
Core Meaningsreaching, arriving, attaining, coming into presence
Semantic Rangeto arrive, to reach, to attain, to extend to, to happen, to be present
Conceptual SignificanceUsed in Biblical Aramaic to describe arrival or attainment, whether spatial (reaching a location), temporal (an event arriving), or situational (a matter coming to pass), emphasizing the moment something comes into effective presence.
Morphological NotesAramaic verb, Peal (Qal equivalent) imperfect 3rd masculine singular (AVqi3ms); prefix conjugation indicating incomplete action, often future or habitual in context.
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic root מטא conveys the idea of reaching or arriving at a place or state. The form יִמְטֵא is an imperfect (prefix) Peal/Qal 3rd masculine singular, so "he reaches" preserves both the simple active sense of the stem and the third masculine singular subject indicated by the morphology.
