and peacocks

Rootתכי (t-k-y)
Core Meaningspeacock, exotic imported bird
Semantic RangePeacock; possibly a brightly colored exotic bird imported from distant lands.
Conceptual SignificanceAppearing 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 NotesCommon 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 RationaleThe 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.
