SIBI-P1 H226-04
for a sign-token
| Root | אות (ʾ-w-t) |
| Core Meanings | sign, mark, signal, token, distinguishing indicator |
| Semantic Range | visible sign, distinguishing mark, memorial token, covenant sign, miraculous sign, omen, banner, evidence |
| Conceptual Significance | אוֹת often denotes a visible or memorable marker of divine action—such as covenant signs (e.g., circumcision, Sabbath), miraculous signs in Egypt, or symbolic acts. It functions as a tangible indicator pointing beyond itself to divine authority, promise, or intervention. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("for/as") prefixed to a common feminine singular noun (absolute or construct form identical in spelling). No pronominal suffix. Singular in number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אוֹת is a feminine singular noun meaning a visible sign or distinguishing mark. The prefixed לְ indicates purpose or function ("for" or "as"), so "for a sign-token" preserves the singular feminine noun and emphasizes the root idea of a marked indicator or signal. |
