SIBI-P1 H6074-01
its branching-foliage
| Root | עפא (ʿ-p-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | branching, sprouting, leafy growth, bough |
| Semantic Range | twig, bough, leafy branch, foliage, collective leaves of a tree |
| Conceptual Significance | Used in royal-tree imagery (notably in Daniel), the term evokes abundance, visibility, and expansive dominion; the spreading foliage symbolizes the outward reach and sheltering influence of a kingdom or ruler. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular construct (ANcmsc) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (Sp3ms), indicating possession: "its/his foliage." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root עפא, conveying the idea of branching or leafy growth. As a masculine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("-its"/"-his"), the rendering "its branching-foliage" preserves both the collective singular sense and the attached pronominal suffix. |
