shiddâh
A container or vessel, especially a chest or box; also possibly a type of carriage or litter for carrying people, particularly women. In rare and contextually specific usages, the term may denote an object or receptacle associated with female adornment or status. The semantic range includes material objects used for storage or transport, and, in debated contexts, a symbolic reference to a woman as possessor or decoration. The term does not primarily mean 'wife' in any direct sense, though later interpretations have sometimes read it this way.
