SIBI-P1 `H5549-02`

Heap her up high!

Root	סלל (s-l-l)
Core Meanings	to heap up, mound up, raise up, exalt, build up
Semantic Range	to build up a mound or highway, to raise up, to exalt, to extol, to lift high in honor, to oppose by heaping up
Conceptual Significance	Used figuratively of exalting wisdom (as in Proverbs), the root connects the physical act of building a raised way with the metaphorical act of elevating someone in honor, portraying esteem as the lifting up of what is valued.
Morphological Notes	Polel (intensive) imperative, 2nd masculine singular, with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; the doubling in the stem reflects the intensive formation characteristic of this verb pattern.
Rendering Rationale	The verb is from סלל, "to heap up or raise up," here in the intensive Polel imperative, second masculine singular, with a third feminine singular suffix ("her"). "Heap her up high!" preserves the concrete imagery of piling up or elevating while reflecting the 2ms command and the feminine object.
