SIBI-P1 H7885-01

a lashing-oar

Rootשוט (š-w-ṭ)
Core Meaningsto go to and fro, roam, range about, lash, whip, scourge
Semantic Rangeoar, rowing implement, scourge, whip, instrument of striking or affliction (figurative)
Conceptual SignificanceAs an oar, it evokes propulsion and directed movement; as a scourge, it symbolizes affliction or chastisement. The shared root imagery of back-and-forth motion highlights both physical action and metaphorical judgment, reflecting how instruments of movement can also become instruments of discipline in biblical thought.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no prefixes or suffixes. The form שַׁיִט functions as a singular concrete noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root שוט, which conveys the idea of moving to and fro or lashing. An oar moves back and forth in rowing, and a scourge lashes back and forth in striking. "A lashing-oar" preserves both the physical imagery of motion and the figurative sense of a scourge, while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (HNcmsa).
