SIBI-P1 H7540-02

she who is springing about

Morphological NotesPiel participle, feminine singular absolute form from רָקַד; the Piel stem intensifies the action, conveying lively, repeated, or exuberant movement.
Rendering RationaleThe root רקד conveys vigorous stamping or springing about in exuberance. The form מְרַקֵּדָה is a feminine singular participle (Piel stem), indicating an ongoing or characteristic action, so "she who is springing about" preserves both the intensive nuance of the stem and the feminine singular morphology.
