Rootאישׁ (ʾ-y-sh)
Core Meaningsman, individual, person, male human
Semantic Rangewoman, wife, female individual, married woman, woman in contrast to man, female member of a household or community
Conceptual Significanceאִשָּׁה establishes the foundational biblical pairing of man and woman (אִישׁ/אִשָּׁה), especially in Genesis 2:23, highlighting relational identity, covenant partnership in marriage, and the shared yet differentiated nature of humanity in the biblical worldview.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa). Feminine form built in correspondence to אִישׁ (man), functioning as its gender counterpart.
Rendering Rationaleאִשָּׁה is the feminine counterpart to אִישׁ (man, individual). Rendering it as "a woman (female-person)" preserves the semantic link to the root idea of an individual human while clearly reflecting the feminine singular absolute form (HNcfsa).
