SIBI-P1 H269-13
his sister
| Root | אח (ʾ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | brotherhood, kinship, familial bond, close relation |
| Semantic Range | biological sister; half-sister; female relative; member of the same clan or people; metaphorically, a woman of close covenantal or communal bond (e.g., beloved, fellow member of Israel). |
| Conceptual Significance | Beyond denoting a biological sibling, אָחוֹת expresses covenantal and communal kinship within Israel. The term can signal solidarity, shared identity, and intimate relational bonds, reflecting the central biblical theme of family as the foundation of social and theological life. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form (אָחוֹת) with 3ms pronominal suffix (-וֹ), literally "sister of him." Derived as the irregular feminine counterpart of אָח (brother). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָחוֹת is the feminine singular form derived from the root אח ("brother/kin"). The construct form with the 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ) yields "his sister," preserving the feminine singular noun and the masculine singular possessor exactly as indicated in the morphology. |
