SIBI-P1 H2114-14
estranged (woman)
| Root | זור (z-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | turning aside, departing, becoming foreign, estrangement, alienation |
| Semantic Range | foreign, alien, estranged, outsider, unauthorized, profane; when used substantively, often "foreign/estranged woman," sometimes with connotations of adultery or illegitimacy |
| Conceptual Significance | This term often marks covenantal or relational boundaries—one who has turned aside from proper allegiance or stands outside the community. In wisdom literature, the "estranged woman" embodies both moral deviation and covenantal unfaithfulness, reflecting the root’s theme of turning away. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute (from the root זוּר). Functions attributively or substantively to describe a single feminine noun, often "woman." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective is feminine singular absolute, so the rendering reflects a single feminine referent. "Estranged" preserves the root idea of turning aside or becoming alien, conveying not merely foreignness but relational separation inherent in זוּר. |
