SIBI-P1 H8243-01
his legs
| Root | שׁק (š-q) |
| Core Meanings | leg, thigh, lower limb, supporting limb |
| Semantic Range | Leg, thigh, lower limb; figuratively a symbol of strength, support, or structural stability in descriptions of statues or beings. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical imagery, legs often symbolize strength, mobility, and structural support. When used in visionary or poetic contexts, such as descriptions of statues or heavenly beings, "legs" can convey firmness, power, or the foundational stability of a kingdom or figure. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun; common feminine plural construct (ANcfpc) with 3ms pronominal suffix (Sp3ms). The construct form binds the plural noun to the possessive suffix, yielding "his legs." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root שׁק (Aramaic cognate of שׁוֹק), meaning "leg" or "thigh." The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("-his"/"-its"), thus accurately rendered "his legs," preserving both the plural number and the masculine singular possession indicated in the morphology. |
