H1371 גִּבֵּחַ gibbêach → Root
3 languagesRoot of the גבח gibbêach family (2 members).
Denotes an individual who is bald specifically in the region of the forehead; one whose front of the scalp is devoid of hair. The term refers to the physiological condition of having a receding hairline or a bald patch on the frontal scalp, distinguishing it from other forms of baldness.
Etymology
Derived from a Hebrew root גבח (g-b-ḥ), which in the nominal form describes characteristics of height, prominence, or convexity, but the specific verbal form is otherwise unattested in Biblical Hebrew. The nominal pattern here forms an adjective or substantival descriptor for one exhibiting this trait; actual root meaning 'to be high, to protrude.'
