SIBI-P1 H269-23
and sister-of
| Root | אח (ʾ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | brotherhood, kinship, familial bond, solidarity |
| Semantic Range | biological sister, female half-sister, female relative, member of the same clan or people, metaphorical sister (e.g., allied city or nation) |
| Conceptual Significance | The term reflects the central biblical value of kinship solidarity. Beyond literal sibling relationship, it conveys covenantal and communal bonds, often expressing intimacy, loyalty, and shared identity within Israel and even metaphorically among nations. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + noun feminine singular construct (אָחוֹת). Construct state indicates possession or close association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָחוֹת derives from the root אח, expressing kinship and sibling bond. The morphology (HC/Ncfsc) indicates a conjunction prefixed to a feminine singular noun in the construct state, so the rendering "and sister-of" preserves both the feminine singular form and the construct relationship requiring a following complement. |
