he will distort
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of bending or twisting, conveying active distortion or perversion. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will distort," preserving both person and verbal force. |
