SIBI-P1 Translation H8505-04
he has weighed out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the verbal action, suggesting deliberate or careful measuring. The perfect 3ms form indicates completed action by a masculine singular subject, hence "he has weighed out," preserving both intensity and completion. |
