SIBI-P1 H8083-07
and eight
| Root | שׁמן (š-m-n) |
| Core Meanings | fatness, fullness, richness, abundance |
| Semantic Range | eight; eighth (ordinal in some contexts); a group of eight; symbolic surplus beyond completeness |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, eight can signify surplus beyond the completeness of seven, sometimes associated with renewal or a new beginning (e.g., circumcision on the eighth day), reflecting the idea of fullness extending beyond a completed cycle. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + cardinal number; masculine singular absolute (Acmsa). The masculine form שְׁמֹנָה is typically used when counting feminine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּשְׁמֹנָה consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the masculine singular absolute cardinal "eight." While the etymological root שׁמן conveys fullness or plumpness—suggesting surplus beyond seven—the standard cardinal sense is preserved here, accurately reflecting the masculine singular form. |
