heads
| Root | ראש (r-ʾ-sh) |
| Core Meanings | head, top, beginning, chief, summit, sum |
| Semantic Range | physical head; top or summit; beginning; chief or leader; principal members; total or sum |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of the "head" in biblical thought conveys authority, prominence, and primacy—whether of leaders, tribes, or beginnings—expressing the idea of what stands first or governs within a structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun; common masculine plural absolute (ANcmpa). Plural form of רֵאשׁ (rêʾsh), corresponding to Hebrew רֹאשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ראש, meaning "head" in both literal and figurative senses. The morphology (Aramaic noun, common masculine plural absolute) requires a masculine plural rendering, hence "heads," preserving both the root imagery and the grammatical number. |
