SIBI-P1 H269-16
my sister
| Root | אח (ʾ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | brotherhood, kinship, sibling bond, familial solidarity |
| Semantic Range | Biological sister; female relative; kinswoman; beloved (as a term of affection, especially in poetic or covenantal language); member of the same community or people group. |
| Conceptual Significance | Beyond literal sibling ties, "sister" in biblical usage can express covenantal solidarity, communal identity, and intimate affection (e.g., in Song of Songs). It reflects the centrality of family and kinship bonds in Israelite society and theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix (HNcfsc/Sp1cs), literally "sister-of-me." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָחוֹת is the feminine counterpart of אָח (brother), derived from the root אח denoting kinship and sibling relationship. The form is feminine singular with a first common singular pronominal suffix ("-י"), yielding the possessive "my sister," which preserves both gender and person as marked in the morphology. |
