Rootאב (ʾ-b)
Core Meaningsfatherhood, progenitor, ancestor, source, chief
Semantic Rangebiological father, ancestor, forefather, clan head, founder, patron, source, or chief figure
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of "father" in biblical thought extends beyond immediate paternity to include ancestry, authority, covenant lineage, and household leadership, grounding identity and inheritance within the family and tribal structure of Israel.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct (אָבִי) with 3rd feminine singular suffix (-הָ), literally "father of her."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָב (ʾâb) denotes a male progenitor or ancestor. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "her father," which accurately reflects both the paternal root meaning and the feminine singular possession.
