SIBI-P1 H6595-02

a broken piece

Rootפתת (p-t-t)
Core Meaningsto break, crumble, fragment, divide into pieces
Semantic Rangemorsel (especially of bread), fragment, piece, portion of food
Conceptual SignificanceOften used of a small piece of bread offered or eaten, פַּת evokes themes of sustenance, humility, and hospitality. Its connection to breaking underscores the everyday act of dividing food for sharing, a culturally and theologically resonant image in biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesFeminine singular noun (common), appearing in both absolute (HNcfsa) and construct (HNcfsc) states; no pronominal suffix. Derived from the verbal root פתת.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פַּת derives from the root פתת, meaning “to break” or “to crumble,” and thus denotes something broken off. The form is feminine singular (absolute or construct), so the rendering preserves the singular sense of a single fragment while reflecting its origin as something broken from a larger whole.
