SIBI-P1 `H1297-01`

on-high—yet

Root	רום (r-w-m)
Core Meanings	height, exaltation, elevation, loftiness, rising high
Semantic Range	highly, surely, indeed; however, nevertheless, yet; emphatic or adversative transition marker
Conceptual Significance	The term illustrates how a concept of elevation ("height") can develop into an emphatic or contrastive discourse marker. In biblical usage, it often introduces a contrast that stands "above" or apart from what precedes, signaling a significant rhetorical or theological turn in the narrative.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic particle/adverb (AC/AD), formed with prefixed ב + root רום; indeclinable, no gender or number marking; functions conjunctively or adverbially in discourse.
Rendering Rationale	The Aramaic particle בְּרַם derives from the root רום ("to be high, exalted") with a prefixed ב, originally conveying the sense of "in height" or "highly." Though it functions adversatively in context ("however, yet"), the rendering "on-high—yet" preserves the underlying idea of elevation while reflecting its conjunctive/adverbial use (AC/AD morphology).
