warm-days
| Root | ימ (y-m) |
| Core Meanings | hot,warm hours,daylight period,time span |
| Semantic Range | Literal daylight hours (Gen 1:5); full day from sunset to sunset; indefinite time periods ('in those days'); extended eras, seasons, or years (e.g., 'mi-qetz yamim' as 'after some days' or annually); age, lifetime ('length of days'). |
| Conceptual Significance | Yom/yamim structures biblical chronology, creation (Gen 1), sabbaths, festivals (e.g., Yamim Nora'im, Days of Awe), and eschatology ('end of days'), symbolizing God's ordered time, mercy renewed 'every morning' (Lam 3:23), and human lifespan under divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | HNcmpa: Noun, masculine, common gender, plural absolute state; construct forms like יְמֵי (yəmê) also occur but these surfaces are absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | 'Warm-days' preserves the core etymological sense of the unused root meaning 'to be hot,' referring to the warm daylight hours, while reflecting the morphology as a masculine noun in the common plural absolute state (HNcmpa). This dual form is maintained without generic 'days,' emphasizing the original semantic warmth. It accurately conveys literal (sunrise-sunset) or figurative spans without imposing modern 24-hour assumptions. |
