SIBI-P1 Translation H5927-70
ascending-one of
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, feminine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action (“causing to ascend, bringing up”). As a feminine singular active participle in construct, it denotes “the one who causes to ascend of…,” rendered concisely as “ascending-one of” to preserve both causative force and construct linkage. |
