SIBI-P1 Translation H4549-04
like melting
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of מסס with prefixed preposition כ ("like/as"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the verbal idea "melting," and the prefixed כ adds the sense of comparison, yielding "like melting." This preserves the root’s core sense of dissolving or weakening without importing context. |
