and she called out

Rootקרא (q-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningscalling out, summoning, naming, proclaiming, reading aloud
Semantic Rangeto call out, summon, address by name, proclaim, announce, read aloud, invite, declare, cry out
Conceptual Significanceקרא is central to biblical themes of naming, proclamation, and divine-human communication. It is used for calling upon YHWH, proclaiming His name, publicly reading Torah, and assigning identity through naming—acts that shape covenantal relationship and communal memory.
Morphological NotesConjunction וַ (vav consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol (converted imperfect) 3rd feminine singular of קרא. Narrative past tense with a feminine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root קרא centers on vocal address—calling, summoning, or proclaiming. The form וַתִּקְרָא is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a simple active past narrative action performed by a female subject. "And she called out" preserves both the core idea of vocal summoning and the feminine singular grammar.
