hind-part

Root	אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r)
Core Meanings	behind, after, later, hinder part, following
Semantic Range	back, rear, hinder part, behind, backward, west (as the direction behind one facing east), afterward, future time
Conceptual Significance	In biblical thought, orientation was typically eastward, making the "hind-part" naturally associated with the west. The term also shapes temporal metaphors—what comes "after"—and can signify retreat, reversal, or the unseen future, reinforcing the Hebrew linkage between space and time.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; though often functioning adverbially ("behind, afterward"), its base form denotes a concrete "back" or "rear."
Rendering Rationale	The noun אָחוֹר derives from the root אחר, expressing the idea of what is behind or after. As a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), "hind-part" preserves both the concrete spatial sense and the singular form reflected in the morphology.
