to Zeresh
| Root | זרש (z-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | proper name of Persian origin; personal name (etymology uncertain) |
| Semantic Range | Refers specifically to Zeresh, the wife of Haman in the Book of Esther; no broader lexical range beyond its use as a personal name. |
| Conceptual Significance | Zeresh appears in Esther as Haman’s wife, offering counsel that contributes to the narrative’s unfolding irony and reversal. As a named Persian woman within the court setting, she represents the familial and advisory sphere surrounding Israel’s adversary in the diaspora context. |
| Morphological Notes | לְ preposition ("to") + proper noun, feminine singular (Np). Occurs once, referring to a specific individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ ("to") prefixed to the proper noun זֶרֶשׁ, a feminine singular personal name. Since the name is of Persian origin with no clear Hebrew root meaning, the faithful rendering preserves the proper name while accurately reflecting the prefixed preposition and singular feminine reference. |
