sha.zaph describes seeing in eye-centered clauses and, in Song of Songs 1:6, an action attributed to the sun.

The dominant attested use occurs in clauses of seeing: an eye has seen someone or a path in Job 20:9 and Job 28:7. Song of Songs 1:6 places the same verb form in a clause where the sun acts upon the speaker; the APB renders that clause “the sun has scorched me.”

1. Seeing by an eye · dominant

   In Job 20:9, the Qal perfect feminine singular form occurs with “The eye that saw him,” followed by the statement that it will see him no more. In Job 28:7, the same form occurs in the clause about the falcon’s eye; the APB renders that it “has not seen” the path.

2. Action of the sun upon the speaker · rare

   In Song of Songs 1:6, the Qal perfect feminine singular form stands in the clause whose subject is the sun and whose object is the speaker. The APB renders the clause “since the sun has scorched me,” though the translation does not align English words to the form.

   Song of Songs 1:6

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Job clauses with “saw” and “has not seen,” while Song of Songs 1:6 is rendered “the sun has scorched me.” The specific English correspondence in the Song clause remains uncertain.
