SIBI-P1 Translation H3584-02
to act deceitfully
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), infinitive construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the root idea of being untrue, thus conveying active, deliberate deception. The infinitive construct is rendered as a verbal form, preserving the root sense of acting in untruth rather than merely stating a lie. |
