I-nurtured
To spread out or extend, particularly with the palms, commonly used of spreading or flattening objects such as a tent or garment. In specific contexts, it can denote measuring with the hand (as in a span, or טֵפַח), as well as gesturing broadly, or swaddling an infant. The core idea involves the extension or displacement of the hand or object, whether literal (spreading/stretching) or figurative (handling/caring for).

SIBI-P1 Translation H2946-01
I spread out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive), perfect, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the core action of spreading or extending with the hand, and the perfect 1st person singular form indicates a completed action by the speaker: "I spread out." This preserves the root’s physical hand-extension sense without importing contextual nuance. |
