| Root | יתר (y-t-r) |
| Core Meanings | to remain, be left over, excess, surplus, superiority, abundance |
| Semantic Range | remainder, residue, excess, surplus, superiority, advantage, abundance; also cord or rope (that which hangs over) |
| Conceptual Significance | יֶתֶר expresses the concept of what goes beyond or remains over—whether materially (remnant, surplus), socially (advantage, superiority), or physically (cord). In biblical theology, it can frame reflections on what truly endures or profits beyond immediate gain, highlighting themes of lasting value versus fleeting abundance. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state; from the root יתר. One attested form appears as a plural (HNp), but the primary form is singular construct, requiring a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | יֶתֶר is a masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating it is bound to a following noun. Rendering it as "surplus of" preserves the core idea of what remains or exceeds (from the root יתר) while accurately reflecting its singular construct form. |
