SIBI-P1

and a woman

Rootאיש (ʾ-y-š)
Core Meaningsman, individual person, human being, social counterpart
Semantic Rangewoman, wife, female person, each (in distributive expressions), one (in certain idioms)
Conceptual Significanceאִשָּׁה denotes the female member of humanity, often highlighting covenantal roles such as wife and mother. In biblical theology, the woman stands as the complementary counterpart to the man, integral to family structure, inheritance, and covenant continuity.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to a common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncfsa). No definite article or pronominal suffix is present.
Rendering RationaleThe form וְאִשָּׁה consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") plus the common feminine singular absolute noun אִשָּׁה ("woman"). Rendering it as "and a woman" preserves the feminine singular form and reflects its identity as the female counterpart to אִישׁ ("man").
