SIBI-P1 H8500-01
and peacocks
| Root | תכי (t-k-y) |
| Core Meanings | peacock, exotic imported bird |
| Semantic Range | Peacock; possibly a brightly colored exotic bird imported from distant lands. |
| Conceptual Significance | Appearing in lists of luxury imports (notably in the Solomonic trade accounts), peacocks symbolize wealth, international commerce, and the far-reaching connections of Israel’s monarchy. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural absolute (Ncmpa) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). The term is likely a foreign loanword and does not derive from a standard Hebrew triliteral root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֻּכִּי is a masculine singular loanword referring to a peacock; here it appears in the masculine plural absolute form with a prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). The rendering "and peacocks" preserves the plural number and reflects the conjunction while accurately conveying the specific creature denoted. |
