and the corded-expectancy of
| Root | קוה (q-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | binding together, twisting, waiting in tension, hopeful expectation |
| Semantic Range | cord, line, attachment; expectancy, hope, longing; something awaited; outcome hoped for |
| Conceptual Significance | תִקְוָה embodies the biblical image of hope as something stretched tight like a cord—an active, tension-filled waiting rather than passive wishing. It often expresses covenantal trust and forward-looking confidence rooted in YHWH’s promises. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun תִקְוָה in feminine singular construct state (Ncfsc). The construct form תִקְוַת links the noun to a following possessive or genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תִקְוַת is feminine singular in the construct state (Ncfsc) with prefixed conjunction וְ, thus "and the … of." Rendering it as "corded-expectancy" preserves the root sense of קוה (to bind or twist like a cord, and thus to wait in tension/hope) while the construct form is reflected by the "of," indicating it governs a following genitive. |
