outline-form
| Root | תאר (t-ʾ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to outline, delineate, describe, form, shape |
| Semantic Range | physical form, bodily shape, outward appearance, figure, visible beauty, countenance |
| Conceptual Significance | תֹּאַר highlights the outwardly perceptible form of a person, often in contexts of beauty or attractiveness, drawing attention to visible structure in contrast to inner character. It contributes to biblical themes contrasting external appearance with inward qualities. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no pronominal suffix; functions as a concrete noun referring to visible form or appearance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֹּאַר derives from the root תאר, "to outline or delineate," and denotes the visible shape or formed appearance of a person or thing. Rendering it as "outline-form" preserves the concrete sense of an outlined shape while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology. |
