SIBI-P1 H3515-06
weighty
| Root | כבד (k-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weight, density, honor, severity, burden |
| Semantic Range | physically heavy; burdensome; severe or grievous; dense or thick; slow (as in dull or unresponsive); weighty in importance; honored or substantial |
| Conceptual Significance | The root כבד underlies key biblical concepts such as כָּבוֹד (kavod, "glory"), expressing the idea that what is truly significant or honorable carries "weight." Thus, "weightiness" can denote not only physical heaviness but also seriousness, severity, or honor in covenantal and theological contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or predicatively to describe a masculine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root כבד (k-b-d), conveying the idea of heaviness or weight, whether physical or figurative. As a masculine singular absolute adjective (HAamsa), it is rendered simply as "weighty," preserving the singular masculine form and the core sense of substantial heaviness or severity inherent in the root. |
