| Root | גדד (g-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | cut, hew, slash, sever, gash |
| Semantic Range | to cut down (trees or objects), to hew, to slash, to make incisions, to sever or destroy by cutting |
| Conceptual Significance | This root often conveys decisive physical destruction—especially the cutting down of objects such as trees or symbolic structures—serving as imagery for judgment, removal, or the forceful ending of what stands upright. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Qal stem; imperative; 2nd person masculine plural. The doubled ד reflects the geminated middle consonant characteristic of the root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root גדד conveys the action of cutting or hewing down. The form גֹּדּוּ is an Aramaic Qal imperative, second person masculine plural, so the rendering reflects a direct command addressed to multiple males: "Cut down, you (masculine plural)!" |
