SIBI-P1 `H1817-08`

the hanging door-leaf

Root	דלה (d-l-h)
Core Meanings	to draw up, lift, dangle, hang down, suspend
Semantic Range	door, door-leaf, gate-panel, lid, movable panel covering an entrance or opening
Conceptual Significance	In biblical thought, the דֶּלֶת marks thresholds—points of entry, protection, and separation between spaces. It often symbolizes access, security, or divine oversight (e.g., guarding the "door" of speech or of a house), emphasizing controlled movement between realms.
Morphological Notes	Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix. Appears in absolute state.
Rendering Rationale	The noun דֶּלֶת derives from the root דלה, conveying the idea of something drawn up or hanging. "The hanging door-leaf" preserves this imagery of a suspended, swinging panel. The form is feminine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), which is reflected in the singular rendering.
