SIBI-P1 H559-12

they caused-to-say

Morphological NotesHiphil (HV) perfect qatal participle, 3rd person common plural (3cp); vocalized as āmrū with pathach under aleph and hireq under mem.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem (HV) indicates causative action, so 'caused-to-say' preserves the root's core meaning of speech while reflecting the causative force, distinguishing it from simple Qal 'say'; the 3cp morphology (HVqp3cp) is captured in the 3rd person common plural 'they', matching the masculine plural participle form used for mixed or masculine groups in Hebrew.
