Root of the גוה gêvâh family (3 members).

A state or quality of being elevated or lifted up, either literally (as in something being raised or exalted) or figuratively as an attitude of self-importance, pride, or arrogance. The term typically refers to the condition or feeling of exaltation, often with negative connotations pertaining to human pride.

Etymology Root: גוה. The root גוה (g-w-h) conveys the idea of rising, being high, or uplifting. The nominal form גֵּוָה (gêvâh) derives from this root and typically denotes the abstract concept or state associated with being elevated, both physically and metaphorically.
