SIBI-P1 H1931-01
she herself
| Root | הוא (h-w-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | third-person reference, identity, self-reference, distinction, demonstrative pointing |
| Semantic Range | she, her, that (feminine), this (feminine), the same (feminine), herself; occasionally serves as a copular or identificational marker. |
| Conceptual Significance | As an emphatic pronoun, הִיא underscores personal identity, distinction, and selfhood. In biblical narrative and poetry it often marks contrast or covenantal identity, highlighting who a person or entity truly is in relation to YHWH and the community. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun, 3rd person feminine singular; used for emphasis, contrast, identification, or as a demonstrative; may function as subject, predicate, or intensifier. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a third person feminine singular independent pronoun (Pp3fs). Rendering it as "she herself" preserves both its feminine singular reference and its often emphatic or self-identifying force in Hebrew, where the independent pronoun highlights identity or distinction. |
