SIBI-P1 H113-11

my sovereign-master

Rootאדן (ʾ-d-n)
Core Meaningsrule, lordship, mastery, authority, ownership
Semantic Rangelord, master, owner, ruler, superior, husband (in some contexts), and as a title of respect for human authorities or for God.
Conceptual Significanceאָדוֹן expresses hierarchical authority and rightful control, whether of a human superior or of YHWH as supreme ruler. The possessive form often conveys personal allegiance, submission, or covenantal loyalty to one recognized as sovereign.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (אָדוֹן) with 1cs pronominal suffix (־ִי), literally "lord of me."
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root conveying rule and mastery. The form is masculine singular in construct with a first common singular pronominal suffix ("my"), so "my sovereign-master" preserves the singular masculine authority figure and the personal possessive relationship expressed in the Hebrew.
