SIBI-P1 H1821-01
one who resembles
| Root | דמה (d-m-h) |
| Core Meanings | likeness, resemblance, comparison, similarity, imagining |
| Semantic Range | to be like, to resemble, to compare, to liken, to imagine or conceive as similar |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys the idea of likeness or comparison, often used in Scripture to express analogy, symbolic representation, or perceived similarity. In theological contexts, it can frame discussions of divine likeness, visionary description, or the limits of human comparison to the divine. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular absolute. The participle expresses a present or characteristic state of resembling or being like. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic form is a Qal masculine singular active participle, denoting an ongoing or characteristic state. "One who resembles" preserves the participial force (an acting or being subject) and reflects the masculine singular morphology while maintaining the core idea of likeness inherent in the root דמה. |
