SIBI-P1 H312-03
another (feminine one)
| Root | אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r) |
| Core Meanings | behindness, delay, following after, otherness, succession |
| Semantic Range | another, other, different, following, subsequent, additional |
| Conceptual Significance | The term marks distinction or succession within covenantal, legal, and narrative contexts—often distinguishing between one entity and another (e.g., another altar, another woman, another nation), thereby structuring identity, separation, and continuity in Israel’s theological worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute (HAafsa), from the root אחר. Functions attributively or substantively to denote a feminine noun as "another" or "a different one." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אַחֶרֶת is the feminine singular absolute of אַחֵר, derived from the root אחר meaning "to be behind" or "to follow," and thus "other" or "another" in the sense of one that comes after. The rendering "another (feminine one)" preserves the idea of otherness or succession inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the feminine singular morphology. |
