verdict

המתן

existing translation

השהה

improved translation

Explanation

To maintain consistency with the improved translation of 'await', and to better reflect the blocking nature of 'wait', 'השהה' (hash'heh) - 'to suspend' - is a better fit for 'await', leaving 'המתן' for the more general 'wait' (blocking).

Issue breakdown

specificity Collapsed with 'await' which is problematic. While 'המתן' can cover both, it's less precise for 'await's' suspension.
consistency Should be differentiated from 'await' to reflect the different semantics.
