emptiness

Morphological NotesMasculine singular common noun, absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רִיק denotes the resultant state of having been emptied out, thus "emptiness" directly reflects the root sense of being made void. As a masculine singular absolute noun, it names the condition itself rather than an action.
