SIBI-P1 Translation H1897-10
and fervent muttering
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Poel (intensive) stem; infinitive absolute; prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הגה denotes low utterance or murmured speech, extended to meditation. The Poel stem intensifies the action, and the infinitive absolute conveys the verbal idea in a heightened, emphatic form; thus "fervent muttering" preserves both the sound-based root and the intensive morphology, with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
