SIBI-P1 `H309-07`

you (masculine singular) keep delaying

Morphological Notes	Piel imperfect forms: 2ms (תְאַחֵר), 3fs (תְאַחֵר), and 2ms jussive (תְאַחֵר). The Piel stem gives an active/intensive nuance—actively causing delay or lingering.
Rendering Rationale	The root אחר conveys the idea of being behind or lingering. In the Piel stem, it intensifies or gives active force to the action, hence "keep delaying" rather than a simple stative "be late." The 2ms morphology is reflected in "you (masculine singular)," while the 3fs occurrences would be rendered "she keeps delaying," and the jussive form "may you delay."
