SIBI-P1 Translation H2492-02
we dreamed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 1st person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense "to dream," and the perfect 1st person common plural form denotes completed action by "we." The rendering preserves both the root’s developed meaning of dreaming and the plural morphology. |
