Near synonyms 2 words
- תַּעָב taʻâb · H8581 · to abhor, to act abominably
- Both lexemes denote abhorring or abomination in Hebrew, with glosses that overlap in expressing strong rejection or disgust — two distinct Hebrew roots for similar senses, functioning as near-synonyms.
- שָׂנֵא sânêʼ · H8130 · to hate, to reject, enemy
- שָׂנֵא (sânêʼ, H8130) (“hate, enemy, foe”) and תָּאַב (tâʼab, H8374) (“abhor”) are genuine negative-emotion verbs that could substitute for one another in expressing strong aversion; תָּאַב (tâʼab, H8374) is very rarely attested, but the semantic relationship itself is real.
Semantic domains 2 entries
- Wish002004002001001
- תָּאַב (tâʼab, H8374)'s own occurrence (1, glossed "[am].loathing," a sense of aversion or loathing) gives no independent basis for the "Wish" domain beyond what is recorded for its bundle partner. That classification is bundle-shared with תָּאַב (tâʼab, H8373) in the source data and is not independently confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrence.
- Hate002001002014
- This verb denotes abhorrence, as in Amos 6:8's declaration that the LORD loathes the arrogance of Jacob and detests his citadels.
