SIBI-P1 H8145-02
the second (one)
| Root | שנה (sh-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to repeat, to do again, to change, to double |
| Semantic Range | second in sequence, another of two, the next in order, again (adverbially in related forms), repetition or counterpart |
| Conceptual Significance | As an ordinal rooted in the idea of repetition, שֵׁנִי marks ordered sequence in narrative, ritual, and genealogy. It reflects the Hebrew conception of time and structure as patterned and cyclical, where events and roles often recur in divinely arranged order. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הַ + ordinal adjective שֵׁנִי; masculine singular absolute (HTd/Aomsa). Functions adjectivally to modify a masculine singular noun, often implied when standing alone. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַשֵּׁנִי is a definite masculine singular ordinal adjective from the root שנה, which conveys repetition or doubling. "The second (one)" preserves both the ordinal sense derived from repetition and the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
