SIBI-P1 `H269-12`

my sister

Root	אח (ʾ-ḥ)
Core Meanings	brotherhood, kinship, familial bond, close relation
Semantic Range	Biological sister; female half-sibling; close female relative; beloved woman (e.g., in poetic or marital language); member of the same people or covenant community.
Conceptual Significance	Beyond literal sibling relationship, "sister" can express covenantal kinship, shared identity, or intimate affection (as in the Song of Songs). It reflects the strong biblical emphasis on family bonds and communal belonging rooted in shared ancestry.
Morphological Notes	Common feminine singular noun (construct) from אָחוֹת with 1cs suffix; literally "sister of me." The construct form binds the noun to the attached pronominal suffix.
Rendering Rationale	The noun is feminine singular in construct form with a first person common singular suffix ("-i"), meaning "sister of me." The rendering "my sister" preserves the feminine singular noun and explicitly reflects the 1cs pronominal suffix while maintaining the core kinship sense of the root אח (ʾ-ḥ).
