his beloved-uncle

Rootדוד (d-w-d)
Core Meaningslove, affection, belovedness, kinship-bond
Semantic Rangeuncle, beloved relative, beloved one, lover; also used as a masculine personal name (Dodo)
Conceptual SignificanceThe term reflects the close intertwining of kinship and affection in Hebrew thought, where a family relation such as "uncle" is linguistically rooted in the concept of love. It underscores the covenantal and familial bonds that structure Israelite society.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (דֹּד) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his דּוֹד." Some occurrences reflect the proper name דּוֹדוֹ (Dodo), a masculine personal name built from the same root.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דּוֹד derives from the root דוד, expressing affection and belovedness. In this form it is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), hence "his beloved-uncle," preserving both the kinship sense and the root idea of affectionate bond.
