SIBI-P1 H802-37
women
| Root | אשה (ʾ-š-h) |
| Core Meanings | woman, wife, female, womanhood |
| Semantic Range | women in general, wives (in relation to husbands), female members of a household or community, sometimes used distributively (each woman) depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, נָשִׁים denotes women as covenant members, wives within household structures, and bearers of lineage. The term carries social, familial, and legal significance, often marking roles in marriage, inheritance, purity laws, and communal identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine noun; irregular plural form נָשִׁים from singular אִשָּׁה. Parsing: noun, common, feminine, plural, absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form נָשִׁים is the irregular feminine plural absolute of אִשָּׁה (woman). Rendering it "women" preserves both the feminine gender and plural number indicated by the morphology (HNcfpa), while retaining the core sense of adult female persons inherent in the root. |
