thigh-of
| Root | שוק (sh-w-q) |
| Core Meanings | leg, lower limb, thigh, runner’s limb, strength of movement |
| Semantic Range | thigh, upper leg, hip region; occasionally the shoulder portion of a sacrificial animal; figuratively a locus of strength or procreative power. |
| Conceptual Significance | In sacrificial law, the thigh (especially the right thigh) was a designated priestly portion, symbolizing consecrated strength. The thigh also appears in oath contexts (hand under the thigh), reflecting its cultural association with lineage, strength, and covenantal continuity. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state; from root שוק. Appears without article and governs a following noun in genitival relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שׁוֹק is feminine singular in the construct state (HNcfsc), indicating "thigh of…" in relationship to a following noun. Rendering it as "thigh-of" preserves both the concrete anatomical sense rooted in the idea of the runner’s limb (שוק) and the grammatical construct linkage required by the morphology. |
