Appointed-One
| Root | שית (š-y-t) |
| Core Meanings | to set, place, appoint, establish, designate |
| Semantic Range | personal name meaning appointed or placed one; one set in place as a substitute or successor |
| Conceptual Significance | Seth is presented as the divinely appointed replacement for Abel (Genesis 4:25), marking the continuation of the promised seed and the lineage through which covenantal hope proceeds. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Personal name of the third son of Adam; no prefixes or suffixes in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שֵׁת (Shêth) derives from the root שית, meaning "to set" or "to appoint." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it refers to one specific male individual; thus "Appointed-One" preserves both the root sense of being set or designated and the masculine singular form reflected in the morphology. |
