SIBI-P1 H113-11
my sovereign-master
| Root | אדן (ʾ-d-n) |
| Core Meanings | rule, lordship, mastery, authority, ownership |
| Semantic Range | lord, master, owner, ruler, superior, husband (in some contexts), and as a title of respect for human authorities or for God. |
| Conceptual Significance | אָדוֹן 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 Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (אָדוֹן) with 1cs pronominal suffix (־ִי), literally "lord of me." |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
