SIBI-P1 H3930-01
to your gullet
| Root | לוע (l-w-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | to swallow, gulp down, engulf; throat, gullet as the organ of swallowing |
| Semantic Range | throat, gullet, the organ of swallowing; by extension the seat of appetite or consumption |
| Conceptual Significance | As the organ of swallowing, the gullet can symbolize appetite, consumption, or vulnerability. In biblical imagery, it may evoke the act of devouring or the physicality of hunger and desire. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (Ncmsc) with 2ms pronominal suffix ("your," addressed to a male), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("to/in"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֹעַ (gullet, throat) derives from the root לוע, "to swallow." Rendering it as "gullet" preserves the connection to swallowing inherent in the root. The form is masculine singular construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, and the prefixed preposition בְּ gives the sense "to/in," thus "to your gullet." |
