she has wandered-away (she has perished); a perishing, a lost-thing (fem. singular)

Rootאבד (ʾ-b-d)
Core Meaningswandering away, perishing, being lost, destruction
Semantic Rangeto wander off, be lost, perish, be destroyed, come to ruin; loss, destruction, a lost item, something missing
Conceptual SignificanceThe root אבד expresses both physical loss and existential ruin, often describing covenantal unfaithfulness leading to perishing, as well as the compassionate concern for what is "lost." It captures the biblical tension between wandering away from life and the hope of restoration.
Morphological NotesVerb: Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular (HVqp3fs), indicating a completed action by a feminine singular subject. Noun: common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa), denoting a state of loss or an item that has wandered away.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular form is rendered "she has wandered-away," preserving the root sense of straying to the point of ruin while reflecting feminine singular verbal agreement. The noun form אֲבֵדָה is rendered "a perishing" or "a lost-thing," maintaining the feminine singular absolute form and highlighting the state or object of loss inherent in the root.
