the woman from Shunem
| Morphological Notes | Noun, gentilic; feminine singular absolute with definite article (הַשּׁוּנַמִּית). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a feminine singular gentilic formed from the place name שׁוּנֵם with the suffix ־ִית, indicating a female associated with that location. The definite article הַ requires "the," and the rendering preserves the geographic-origin sense rather than treating it as a personal name. |
