SIBI-P1 H6443-01
from pearls
| Root | פנן (p-n-n) |
| Core Meanings | pearl, coral, precious stone, rounded gem |
| Semantic Range | pearls, rubies, coral, precious stones, costly gems used in comparison for value |
| Conceptual Significance | In wisdom literature, pearls symbolize the highest earthly value and rarity. Comparing wisdom or virtue to "pearls" underscores surpassing worth, communicating that divine wisdom exceeds even the most treasured material riches. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated to מִ) + noun common plural absolute (masculine/both gender), from פָּנִין (H6443). The plural ending -ִים marks masculine plural; no pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מִפְּנִינִים consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the masculine plural absolute noun פְּנִינִים ("pearls"). Rendering it as "from pearls" preserves the plural form and reflects the comparative force often conveyed by מִן in context ("more than pearls"). |
