a lost-thing

Morphological NotesFeminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa) from the root אבד. Related verbally to Qal perfect 3fs forms meaning “she/it has perished.” The noun form denotes the state or object of loss.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֲבֵדָה is a feminine singular absolute form derived from the root אבד (“to perish/be lost”). Rendering it as "a lost-thing" preserves the concrete sense of something that has come into a state of being lost, while clearly reflecting its singular form and its derivation from the verbal idea of perishing or disappearing.
