| Root | אבס (ʾ-b-s) |
| Core Meanings | to feed, to fodder, to stall‑feed, provision of fodder |
| Semantic Range | manger, feeding-trough, stall, crib, place where animals are fed |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical imagery, the אֵבוּס represents the place of provision for domesticated animals, symbolizing sustenance and care. Its use can evoke themes of divine provision or, in prophetic critique, the contrast between animals recognizing their feeding place and Israel failing to recognize YHWH as provider (e.g., Isaiah 1:3). |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc). The construct form links it grammatically to a following noun, expressing possession or association ("trough of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֵבוּס derives from the root אבס, "to feed or provide fodder." Rendering it as "foddering-trough" preserves the root idea of feeding or supplying fodder rather than the more general "manger." The morphology (common masculine singular construct) is reflected by the construct form "of," indicating it governs a following noun. |
