SIBI-P1 H6310-37

mouth

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, edge, speech, breath, utterance
Semantic RangeLiteral mouth (organ of speech and eating); speech or utterance; command or decree; edge or opening (e.g., mouth of a cave); portion or measure; "according to" when used in prepositional phrases.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the mouth represents not only physical speech but authoritative utterance—especially the "mouth of YHWH" as the source of divine command and revelation. It also functions metaphorically for openings and edges, reflecting the root concept of an aperture through which something proceeds.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix or construct relationship in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the simple singular form "mouth" accurately reflects its grammatical form. This rendering preserves the root idea of an opening through which breath and speech proceed, which underlies both its literal and figurative uses.
