SIBI-P1 H6136-01

root-stump of

Rootעקר (ʿ-q-r)
Core Meaningsto uproot, root out, pluck up, remove from the root, render barren
Semantic Rangestump, root-stock, remnant trunk, surviving root base after cutting or uprooting
Conceptual SignificanceIn Biblical Aramaic (notably Daniel 4), the "root-stump" symbolizes judgment tempered with preservation: though a tree (kingdom) is cut down, its root remains, signifying the possibility of restoration. It conveys both removal and enduring continuity from the root.
Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine singular, construct state. Occurs in Biblical Aramaic (e.g., Daniel). The construct form links it to a following noun ("stump of …").
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root עקר (ʿ-q-r), "to uproot," and denotes what remains after uprooting—a root or stump. As a masculine singular construct (ANcmsc), it is rendered "root-stump of," preserving both the singular masculine form and the construct relationship that requires a following genitive.
