SIBI-P1 Translation H559-09
she said
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple, active sense of verbal expression inherent in the root אמר. The perfect 3rd feminine singular form is rendered as a completed action by a feminine singular subject, hence "she said." |
