mouth-of

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, edge, utterance, expression
Semantic RangeLiteral mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; opening or entrance; edge or extremity; portion or measure; according to (in idiomatic prepositional use).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "mouth" represents not only physical speech but authority, command, and revelation—what proceeds from the mouth carries power, covenantal force, and divine instruction (e.g., "by the mouth of YHWH"). The term bridges concrete anatomy and the performative power of spoken word.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc) from פֶּה (peh). The construct form links this noun to a following genitive.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine singular noun in the construct state ("mouth of"), indicating possession or close association with what follows. Rendering it as "mouth-of" preserves both the core concrete image of the mouth as an opening/speaking organ and the grammatical construct relationship inherent in the form.
