SIBI-P1 H5221-59
she was struck down
| Morphological Notes | Hophal (causative passive) perfect, 3rd feminine singular from נכה. The Hophal stem marks passive voice; the perfect indicates completed action; the feminine singular ending agrees with a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נכה fundamentally means "to strike" or "to smite." The form נֻכָּתָה is Hophal perfect 3rd feminine singular, indicating a completed passive action—"she was struck." The rendering "she was struck down" preserves the concrete force of the root while clearly reflecting feminine singular subject and passive voice. |
