SIBI-P1 H7064-04
a wailing-dirge
| Root | קון (q-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | to chant a lament, wail, intone a dirge, mourn vocally |
| Semantic Range | funeral dirge, lamentation chant, mourning song, prophetic elegy over disaster or death |
| Conceptual Significance | קִינָה denotes a formalized lament, often performed publicly over the dead or over national catastrophe. In prophetic literature it becomes a literary genre, expressing covenantal grief and communal mourning before יהוה, especially in contexts of judgment and exile. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state; no suffixes. Occurs as an independent noun denoting a specific type of lament song. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קִינָה is a feminine singular absolute form (HNcfsa). "Wailing-dirge" preserves the root idea of vocalized mourning (q-w-n) while clearly expressing a singular lament song, reflecting the feminine singular noun form in English as a single countable composition. |
