SIBI-P1 H6362-01
one who releases
| Root | פטר (p-ṭ-r) |
| Core Meanings | bursting through, cleaving open, releasing, emitting, setting free |
| Semantic Range | to burst open, to let go, to emit, to dismiss, to set free, to allow to slip away; in some contexts, to open the womb or cause something to issue forth |
| Conceptual Significance | The root פטר is used in contexts of release or opening, including the opening of the womb (firstborn imagery). It carries themes of liberation, discharge, and initiation, often marking a decisive act of separation or emergence. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute and construct forms attested). Functions substantivally as "one who releases" or adjectivally describing a releasing agent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting an ongoing or characteristic action: "one who releases." This preserves the root sense of bursting forth or letting go while accurately reflecting the masculine singular participial morphology. |
