she (herself)

Morphological NotesIndependent personal pronoun, third person feminine singular (HPp3fs). Feminine counterpart to הוּא; used for emphasis, contrast, or when no explicit verb is present.
Rendering RationaleThe form הִיא is the feminine singular third-person independent pronoun. Rendering it as "she (herself)" preserves both its feminine singular morphology (3fs) and its frequent emphatic or reflexive force, where the pronoun highlights or intensifies the subject.
