made threefold
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Pual stem (intensive passive); participle passive; masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pual passive participle masculine singular denotes something that has been intensively acted upon—specifically, caused to become threefold or divided into three. "Made threefold" preserves both the passive force and the root concept of structured three-ness. |
