SIBI-P1 H802-08
a woman
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state; irregular plural נָשִׁים (nāšîm). Frequently used both for an adult female and for a wife, depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa), so the rendering preserves its singular feminine sense as "a woman." Though etymologically related to אִישׁ (man), it distinctly denotes the female counterpart, and the English term "woman" maintains this gendered distinction inherent in the Hebrew form. |
