SIBI-P1 H6466-01
I work
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 1st person common singular of פעל. The imperfect denotes incomplete, ongoing, habitual, or future action in the simple active stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פעל conveys active doing or working, often with the sense of purposeful or effective action. As a Qal imperfect first common singular form, אֶפְעַל expresses simple active action by the speaker—"I work" or "I will work"—preserving both the verbal stem (simple active) and the first-person singular morphology. |
