the fig-fruits

Rootתאן (t-ʾ-n)
Core Meaningsfig tree, fig fruit
Semantic Rangefigs (the fruit), fig trees, a fig harvest, or a cluster of figs
Conceptual SignificanceFigs are a staple sign of agricultural abundance and covenant blessing in the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing peace and prosperity ("under his vine and under his fig tree"), but also serving as an image of judgment when withered or barren.
Morphological NotesDefinite article (הַ) + noun common feminine plural absolute (Ncfpa) from תְּאֵן/תְּאֵנָה. Occurs as a plural referring to multiple figs or fig trees depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe noun תְּאֵנִים is a common feminine plural absolute form with the definite article ("the"). Rendering it as "the fig-fruits" preserves the concrete botanical sense of the root תאן and clearly reflects the feminine plural form indicated in the morphology.
