of the horn

Root	קרן (q-r-n)
Core Meanings	horn, projecting point, ray, strength, power
Semantic Range	Literal horn of an animal; a musical horn or cornet; a projecting peak; a metaphor for strength, might, or royal power; a radiant ray (by extension of projection).
Conceptual Significance	In biblical literature, the horn symbolizes strength, exaltation, and royal authority. It can denote military power, divine deliverance, or the sounding of proclamation, making it a potent image of both physical might and covenantal triumph.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic common noun, feminine singular, emphatic (determined) state (ANcfsd). The emphatic ending -ָא marks definiteness ("the horn"). The prefixed preposition in context gives the sense "of the horn."
Rendering Rationale	The Aramaic noun קַרְנָא is feminine singular in the emphatic (determined) state, meaning "the horn." In context it appears with a prefixed preposition, yielding "of the horn." The rendering preserves the singular feminine form and retains the concrete image of a projecting horn, reflecting the root קרן and its symbolism of strength.
