| Root | קון (q-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | fixity, firmness, establishing, setting in place, being fixed |
| Semantic Range | lance, spear, weapon fixed or driven in; by extension, an implement characterized by firmness or penetrating force |
| Conceptual Significance | As a weapon name derived from a root meaning "to fix" or "establish," the term evokes the image of a spear that strikes and holds fast, highlighting themes of strength, stability, and decisive force in martial contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"). The form is in construct with the attached suffix, yielding "his lance." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קַיִן derives from the root קון, conveying the idea of firmness or fixity. Rendering it "fixed-fast lance" preserves the root sense of something firmly set or striking fast, while the 3ms pronominal suffix is reflected in "his," matching the masculine singular noun with third masculine singular possession. |
