Adar (the Twelfth Month)

Rootאדר (ʾ-d-r)
Core Meaningsmajesty, greatness, splendor; (as a proper noun) the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar
Semantic RangeThe twelfth month of the Hebrew religious calendar (late winter); by extension, the period in which events such as the festival of Purim occur.
Conceptual SignificanceAdar is the month in which the events of Esther culminate and Purim is celebrated (Esther 3:7; 9:1). It marks divine reversal and deliverance for the Jewish people, embedding the month with themes of providence, preservation, and covenant faithfulness in Jewish memory.
Morphological NotesProper noun, masculine singular; name of the twelfth month in the post-exilic Hebrew calendar. Occurs without article and without pronominal suffixes.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a proper noun (HNp), masculine singular, referring to a specific month in the Hebrew calendar. The rendering preserves its identity as a singular proper name while clarifying its calendrical function; the possible association with the root idea of majesty (אדר) is retained in the lexical background though the term functions here strictly as a month name.
