SIBI-P1 H3201-21
he is able
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The Qal stem conveys simple or stative action; the imperfect expresses incomplete, ongoing, future, or modal nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses ongoing or potential ability attributed to a single male subject. "He is able" preserves the core sense of inherent capacity or prevailing power embedded in the root יכל while accurately reflecting the masculine singular verbal form. |
