SIBI-P1 H1931-05
she (herself)
| Root | הוא (h-w-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | self-reference, personal identity, demonstrative pointing, emphasis of subject |
| Semantic Range | she, her (as subject), she herself, that one (feminine), this (feminine), the same (feminine), occasionally serving as a copular element ("is/was") in verbless clauses. |
| Conceptual Significance | As an emphatic personal pronoun, הִיא marks identity, distinction, and self-reference, often underscoring covenantal roles, chosen individuals, or personified entities (such as cities or nations) within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun, third person feminine singular (HPp3fs). Feminine counterpart to הוּא; used for emphasis, contrast, or when no explicit verb is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הִיא is the feminine singular third-person independent pronoun. Rendering it as "she (herself)" preserves both its feminine singular morphology (3fs) and its frequent emphatic or reflexive force, where the pronoun highlights or intensifies the subject. |
