SIBI-P1 Translation H914-02
to cause separation
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil stem (causative); infinitive absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, shifting the simple idea of separation into actively causing or effecting separation. As an infinitive absolute, it presents the verbal idea in its pure, intensified form, here rendered concisely as "to cause separation." |
