and Qish (Bow)
| Root | קוש (q-w-sh) |
| Core Meanings | bow, bending, snaring, arcing weapon |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, קִישׁ refers to several Israelite men; etymologically linked to the concept of a bow or weapon, symbolizing strength or martial identity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Most prominently, Qish is the father of King Saul of Benjamin, anchoring Saul’s lineage. The bow imagery may evoke themes of warrior strength and tribal identity within Israel’s early monarchy narratives. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (“and”) prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffixes; simple conjunctive form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper noun (Np) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). The name derives from the root קוש, associated with a bow or arcing weapon, so the rendering preserves the root sense by glossing the name as “Bow” while retaining its proper-name function and masculine singular form. |
