SIBI-P1 H1400-02
a strong-man
| Root | גבר (g-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, superiority, prevailing power |
| Semantic Range | man, strong man, mighty man, warrior, husband, notable male person |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, גְּבַר highlights human strength or prominence, often in contrast to divine sovereignty. It can underscore human might, social standing, or warrior identity within Israelite and Aramaic contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa/ANcmsa). No article or pronominal suffix; refers to one male individual characterized by strength. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic noun גְּבַר derives from the root גבר, conveying strength or prevailing might. Rendering it as "a strong-man" preserves both the masculine singular absolute form (HNcmsa) and the root’s emphasis on strength rather than using the more generic "man." |
