SIBI-P1 Translation H3680-37
may you cover over
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), jussive mood, 2nd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of כסה as "to cover" or "conceal," with "cover over" reflecting the Piel stem’s intensified or deliberate action. The jussive mood is conveyed by "may you," and the second feminine singular is maintained in address. |
