| Semantic Range | tree, wood, timber, plank, staff, stake, gallows, wooden object or material |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the tree represents life, stability, and material strength—appearing in contexts such as the Tree of Life, sources of building material, and instruments of judgment. Its association with firmness underscores themes of endurance, rootedness, and the tangible strength of creation. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute and construct states in the provided forms; no pronominal suffixes; singular in number. |
