SIBI-P1 `H1730-08`

his beloved-uncle

Root	דוד (d-w-d)
Core Meanings	boiling, passionate affection, love, kinship bond
Semantic Range	uncle, father’s brother, beloved one, lover, intimate friend, term of endearment
Conceptual Significance	The term reflects the close-knit structure of Israelite family life, where the uncle held social and protective responsibilities. Its root connection to affection underscores the warmth and loyalty expected within covenant family relationships, linking kinship with enduring love.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine singular noun in construct form (דֹּד) with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ) = "his." In some occurrences the lemma also appears as a proper noun (David), but here the form reflects the common noun with suffix.
Rendering Rationale	The noun דּוֹד (dôd) derives from a root associated with passionate or affectionate love. In familial contexts it denotes an uncle, a close male relative, reflecting both kinship and affection. The morphology (masculine singular construct with 3rd masculine singular suffix) requires the rendering "his beloved-uncle," preserving both the possessive "his" and the masculine singular sense.
