SIBI-P1 Translation H1104-07
he utterly engulfed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive active), perfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of swallowing or engulfing, so "utterly engulfed" reflects the forceful, complete action. The perfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as "he" performing the completed action. |
