Justice‑Maiden
| Root | דין (d-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | judgment, justice, legal decision, dispute, vindication |
| Semantic Range | judgment, justice, legal cause, vindication, contention; as a name, it embodies the idea of justice or one associated with judgment. |
| Conceptual Significance | Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah (Genesis 30; 34), stands at the center of a narrative involving violation, honor, and retributive justice. Her name, rooted in דין (justice), frames the episode in terms of judgment and communal response, highlighting themes of legal right, moral outrage, and covenantal identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular (HNp). Formed from the root דין with the feminine ending ־ָה (‑âh), functioning as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name דִּינָה is the feminine form derived from the root דין (to judge, to administer justice). Rendering it as "Justice‑Maiden" preserves the root sense of judgment/justice while clearly reflecting its feminine singular proper‑noun form (HNp). |
