qârâh
lays the beams
To encounter, meet, or befall—especially in the sense of coming across something or someone by chance or accident (not as a deliberate or expected act). This verbal root also develops specialized senses such as 'to happen' (especially an event happening to someone), and in a causative stem, 'to bring about', 'to cause to happen', or, in a specific construction, 'to lay timbers' (for roofing or flooring). The baseline meaning involves the coincidence of events or meeting, whether orchestrated or by happenstance.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
the one who lays the beams
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('the one bringing about') is not accurate in this context. The verb here, in the piel, means 'to lay the beams' or 'to roof' and refers to laying beams (for a roof or structure) over the waters, matching SILEX's note on specialized senses. Corrected for context. |
