sa.chah denotes swimming action, pictured by a swimmer spreading out his hands.

The attested usage depicts swimming action: Isaiah 25:11 uses participial forms in the comparison of a swimmer spreading out his hands, while Psalm 6:7 contains a first-person imperfect form in a lament whose APB wording does not isolate the term's contribution.

   In Isaiah 25:11, the active participial forms occur in the comparison, and the APB renders the clause “as the swimmer spreads out his hands to swim.” Psalm 6:7 has a first-person Hiphil imperfect form within a lament, though the APB's wording does not make its specific English contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 25:11, the APB explicitly presents a “swimmer” who spreads out his hands “to swim.” In Psalm 6:7, the translation does not visibly preserve a corresponding swimming expression, so its rendering of the form cannot be isolated from the supplied English verse.
