and she said

Morphological NotesHC/Vqw3fs: Waw-consecutive + Qal imperfective 3fs verb from root אמר; the form וַתֹּאמֶר signals sequential past narrative action by a feminine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'and she said' directly preserves the core semantics of the root אמר, denoting verbal utterance or declaration, while exactly matching the morphology: the consecutive waw (וַ), 3rd feminine singular Qal imperfect (תֹּאמֶר) form, indicating a past narrative action performed by a female subject. This maintains grammatical gender (feminine), number (singular), person (3rd), and stem (Qal, simple active) without alteration.
