SIBI-P1 Translation H5791-02
he distorted him
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive/causative), perfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of bending or twisting into active distortion or perversion. The perfect 3ms with a 3ms suffix yields "he distorted him," preserving both the verbal intensity and the masculine singular object. |
