SIBI-P1 Translation H5130-09
to cause to wave
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causative action, so the infinitive construct conveys causing something to move back and forth. "To cause to wave" preserves the root idea of oscillating motion while reflecting the causative morphology. |
