SIBI-P1 H8264-01
one ranging greedily
| Root | שׁקק (š-q-q) |
| Core Meanings | ranging, roaming, coursing like a predator, greedy seeking, restless pursuit |
| Semantic Range | to roam or range about, to course like a beast of prey, to run to and fro, to crave or seek greedily, to press or surge forward |
| Conceptual Significance | The root evokes the image of predatory or restless motion, often conveying uncontrolled appetite or aggressive pursuit. In biblical imagery, it can portray chaotic desire, hostile invasion, or unrestrained craving, highlighting the dangers of unchecked longing or marauding force. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, from שָׁקַק. Functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe a male individual characterized by restless or greedy roaming. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular form denotes "one who is ranging/roaming." Rendering it as "one ranging greedily" preserves the root sense of predatory, restless pursuit while accurately reflecting the masculine singular participial morphology. |
