I said
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal (simple active), perfect, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of speaking, and the perfect 1st person singular form indicates a completed act by the speaker: "I said." This preserves the root’s core sense of verbal expression without narrowing its broad semantic scope. |
