SIBI-P1 H5985-01
the Ammonite-woman
| Root | עמם (ʿ-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | people, kin, clan, tribal community |
| Semantic Range | A woman belonging to the nation or lineage of Ammon; an Ammonite by birth or ethnic identity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ammon was a neighboring kin-nation descended from Lot, often in tension with Israel. References to an "Ammonite-woman" frequently highlight issues of intermarriage, covenant boundaries, and Israel’s relationship with surrounding peoples. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הָ) + feminine singular gentilic noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix. The form denotes a single female member of the people of Ammon. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is the feminine singular gentilic form of עַמּוֹן (Ammon), itself derived from the root relating to "people" or "kin." The rendering "Ammonite-woman" preserves the ethnic derivation from the kin-group Ammon and accurately reflects the feminine singular form with the definite article ("the"). |
