SIBI-P1 H3816-01
gathered-people
| Root | לאם (l-ʾ-m) |
| Core Meanings | to gather, assemble, collect into a group, form a community |
| Semantic Range | people, nation, ethnic group, tribal community, populace |
| Conceptual Significance | This term emphasizes a people as a gathered and unified body, highlighting corporate identity and shared origin. In biblical usage it can underscore distinctions among nations while stressing the cohesion that defines a covenantal or ethnic community. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; collective in sense though grammatically singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to gather" or "assemble," so "gathered-people" preserves the underlying sense of a community formed by gathering. The morphology (HNcmsa) indicates a masculine singular absolute noun, which is reflected in the singular collective rendering rather than a plural form. |
