and she ate

Morphological NotesQal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) form of אָכַל. Most attestations are 3rd feminine singular ("and she ate"), with some 2nd masculine singular forms ("and you ate"). The wayyiqtol form advances past narrative sequence.
Rendering RationaleThe verb derives from the root אכל (ʾ-k-l), whose core sense is "to eat" or "consume." In the Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular form (וַתֹּאכַל), it narrates a past action performed by a feminine singular subject, hence "and she ate," preserving both the simple active sense of the Qal stem and the feminine singular morphology. In occurrences parsed as 2ms, the sense would be "and you (masculine singular) ate."
