SIBI-P1 `H183-06`

she has intensely longed

Root	אוה (ʾ-w-h)
Core Meanings	desire, longing, craving, coveting
Semantic Range	to wish for, desire, crave, covet, lust after, long for intensely
Conceptual Significance	This verb often expresses powerful inner craving, whether for legitimate needs or sinful coveting. It highlights the orientation of the heart—either toward YHWH’s provision or toward misplaced desire—making it significant in narratives of temptation, judgment, and devotion.
Morphological Notes	Piel stem (intensive), perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person feminine singular; from the root אוה.
Rendering Rationale	The root אוה conveys deep desire or craving. The form אִוְּתָה is Piel perfect 3rd feminine singular, expressing an intensive action completed in the past; thus "she has intensely longed" preserves both the intensified stem and the feminine singular subject.
