SIBI-P1 H559-36

to-say

Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) infinitive construct with preposition לְ ('to/for'); no pronominal suffixes; vocalized as lēʾmōr with qamets under mem and varying cantillation accents.
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'to-say' preserves the infinitive form of the root אמר, emphasizing its core semantic field of verbal expression while incorporating the lamed preposition as directional 'to/for saying,' common in quotative constructions; it reflects the Hiphil infinitive construct morphology (HR/Vqc) as a causative infinitive purpose clause without gender, number, or person markers. This avoids generic glosses like 'saying' and highlights the root's primitive sense of utterance across its broad usage.
