SIBI-P1 H3790-06
let us inscribe
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Qal stem; imperfect (yiqtol) 1st common plural. The imperfect here likely expresses volition or intention (cohortative nuance). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כתב fundamentally means to write or inscribe, often with the sense of formally recording or engraving. The form is Aramaic Qal imperfect 1st common plural, which can carry a volitional (cohortative) nuance, hence "let us inscribe," preserving both the root idea of inscription and the first person plural sense. |
