SIBI-P1 H853-03
selfsame (definite object marker)
| Root | אות (ʾ-w-t) |
| Core Meanings | sign, mark, token, distinguishing indicator, selfsame entity |
| Semantic Range | Definite direct object marker; marker of specificity; sometimes conveys emphasis such as "even," "namely," or "precisely"; in rare contexts may retain a more demonstrative nuance tied to identifying a particular entity. |
| Conceptual Significance | אֵת serves as a grammatical sign highlighting definiteness and specificity in Hebrew narrative and law, marking covenant partners, sacred objects, and divine actions with precision. Though often untranslated in English, it functions as a linguistic indicator that the named entity is distinctly marked out within the action of the text. |
| Morphological Notes | Particle (HTo); invariant direct object marker with no gender, number, or person; placed before definite nouns or nouns with pronominal suffixes to mark them as the definite object of a verb; occasionally used with prepositions or for emphasis. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֵת functions as an uninflected particle marking a definite direct object. Deriving from a root associated with a sign or distinguishing mark (אות), the rendering "selfsame" reflects its role in marking out a specific, definite entity as the focused object of the verb, while acknowledging that it carries no gender, number, or person inflection. |
