SIBI-P1 H559-01

he has caused-to-say

Morphological NotesHiphil (HV) perfect qatal participle, 3rd person masculine singular (qp3ms); surfaces show vocalization variations like אָמַ֣ר but consistent morphology across occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem (HV) indicates causative action, transforming the core Qal meaning 'to say' into 'to cause to say' or 'he declares,' preserving the root's semantic focus on verbal utterance while reflecting the causative force; the 3ms perfect participle (qp3ms) is rendered as a masculine singular verb form 'he has caused-to-say' to match the morphology exactly, avoiding neutral or plural English equivalents.
