SIBI-P1 H8615-01

a waiting-cord

Rootקוה (q-w-h)
Core Meaningswaiting, eager expectation, longing, binding together, stretching like a cord
Semantic Rangecord, line, thread; expectation, longing; hope; that which one waits for
Conceptual Significanceתִּקְוָה expresses more than abstract optimism; it conveys the idea of being bound in expectancy, like a cord stretched toward what is awaited. Biblically, it often denotes covenantal hope—an eager, enduring waiting upon YHWH that is both relational and steadfast.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). No pronominal suffix; appears as a standalone singular noun.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "a waiting-cord" preserves the concrete root image of something stretched or bound together (a cord) and the figurative sense of eager waiting or expectation that develops from it. The form is a feminine singular absolute noun, so it is rendered as a singular noun without suffixes or modifiers.
