Adar (the Twelfth Month)
| Root | אדר (ʾ-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | majesty, greatness, splendor; (as a proper noun) the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar |
| Semantic Range | The twelfth month of the Hebrew religious calendar (late winter); by extension, the period in which events such as the festival of Purim occur. |
| Conceptual Significance | Adar 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 Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; name of the twelfth month in the post-exilic Hebrew calendar. Occurs without article and without pronominal suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
