SIBI-P1 H4118-01
Hasten! (you, masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | From the root מהר in the Piel stem. Forms include Piel imperative 2ms (HVpv2ms), "Hasten!" addressed to a masculine singular, and Piel infinitive absolute (HVpa), often used adverbially to intensify the sense of haste ("with hastening," i.e., quickly). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "Hasten!" preserves the core idea of the root מהר, conveying urgent, intensified speed. The imperative form reflects the Piel stem’s forceful nuance and the second person masculine singular morphology, directly addressing one male individual. |
