Semantic Rangedate-palm trees; palm-like architectural columns or pilasters; symbols of uprightness or stately beauty
Conceptual SignificancePalm-trees in the biblical world symbolize beauty, fertility, uprightness, and flourishing life in arid regions. Architecturally, palm motifs adorned sacred spaces, reinforcing themes of life, fruitfulness, and ordered beauty in covenantal worship.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine noun, plural absolute (HNcfpa). Derived from the root תמר, closely related to תָּמָר (date palm).
Rendering RationaleThe noun תִּמֹרִים is a feminine plural absolute form meaning "palm-trees." The rendering preserves the plural number indicated by the morphology (feminine plural absolute) and reflects the root תמר, which denotes the tall, upright date-palm; the hyphenated form keeps the lexical unity of the compound image.
