SIBI-P1 `H6-34`

she will be lost-away

Root	אבד (ʾ-b-d)
Core Meanings	wandering away, loss, perishing, destruction, disappearance
Semantic Range	to perish, be destroyed, be lost, vanish, go astray, come to ruin
Conceptual Significance	אָבַד often conveys more than physical death; it expresses covenantal loss, ruin, or disappearance from blessing. In biblical theology, perishing can signify removal from divine protection, loss of inheritance, or judgment resulting in being cut off.
Morphological Notes	Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd feminine singular of אָבַד; intransitive, indicating a future or incomplete action: "she/it (fem.) will perish."
Rendering Rationale	The Qal stem expresses the simple, intransitive action of the root אבד — to wander away or perish. The imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is reflected by "she will," and "be lost-away" preserves the core idea of disappearing or perishing through being lost.
