SIBI-P1 H3836-01
white (feminine singular)
| Root | לבן (l-b-n) |
| Core Meanings | whiteness, brightness, purity, pale color |
| Semantic Range | white, bright, pale; by extension the moon (as "the white one"); associated ideas of purity or brightness |
| Conceptual Significance | The root לבן conveys visible brightness and purity. As לְבָנָה it can personify whiteness in feminine form, notably serving as a poetic name for the moon in contrast to the sun, reinforcing biblical imagery of light, order, and appointed times. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute (HAafsa), from the root לבן. Functions attributively or substantively; when used substantively it can denote "the white one" (a feminine entity, often the moon). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְבָנָה is an adjective in the feminine singular absolute, derived from the root לבן meaning "to be white." The rendering preserves the core sense of whiteness while explicitly reflecting its feminine singular grammatical form. |
