shame
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (HNcfsa = absolute; HNcfsc = construct). Also appears within proper names (HNp), such as מְפִיבֹשֶׁת (Mephibosheth), where it forms part of a compound name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֹּשֶׁת is a feminine singular form derived from the root בוש, meaning "to be ashamed" or "to experience disgrace." The rendering "shame" preserves the core root idea and reflects the feminine singular noun indicated by the morphology (absolute or construct, where in construct it carries the sense "shame of"). |
