SIBI-P1 Translation H1240-03
he will thoroughly investigate
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Aramaic Pael (intensive active); imperfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pael stem conveys intensive or deliberate action, so "thoroughly investigate" reflects the strengthened sense of careful examination. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will," preserving person, gender, and number. |
