ais
איש
'ais' is pronounced “ish” and appears to mean “person”.
There are some interesting points regarding the spelling and semantics around this.
Typically, translations have conflated 'ais' with anes, despite the obvious spelling differences between these two separate words.
The codex requires a spelling split from 582 to 376
Additional words also appear to mean person:
| Transliteration | Strongnumber | Instances | Ostensible Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| ais | 376 | 1839 | man |
| aseh | 802 | 657 | woman |
| anes | 582 | 133 | man |
| adem | 120 | ~700 | man |
Strong number 802 is problematic in that it can not be easily reduced to a root word. Variant spellings include 'as', 'aseh', 'aset', 'nes'(possibly convoluted with 582)
There is some evidence of gender differentiation between the words, however, the ostensible meanings appear to be convoluted with little regard for spelling and original word choice, casting significant doubt onto the traditional gender interpretations.
An exhaustive spelling analysis, LexID validation/reassignment, and contextual workup will be required.
