SIBI-P1 Translation H5608-51
they will recount
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/iterative), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural with prefixed conjunction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root sense of counting/recording into active recounting or narrating. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form is reflected by "they will recount," preserving number and verbal aspect. |
