she (that one)
| Root | הוא (h-w-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | personal identity, third-person reference, selfhood, that one |
| Semantic Range | she, her (emphatic), it (feminine), that (feminine), the same (feminine), herself, that one |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun marks personal identity and distinction, often adding emphasis or contrast. In biblical discourse it can underscore the specific woman, entity, or concept in view, reinforcing clarity of reference and theological focus on particular persons or covenant realities. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; third person feminine singular (Pp3fs). Used for emphasis, contrast, or as a demonstrative; may function in place of a copula. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הִוא is the independent third-person feminine singular pronoun. Rendering it as "she (that one)" preserves its feminine singular reference while reflecting its frequent emphatic or demonstrative force as "that one." |
