The verb « קָרָא »
verb: read
is a verb of the « PAAL / פָּעַל » group
The root of the verb is: « ק-ר-א »
« קרא / qara »
- לִקְרוֹא (liqro) - Verb PAAL: read; to call.
- קְרִיאָה (qri-ah) - Feminine noun: call, exclamation; reading.
- קָרִיא (qari) - Adjective: legible, readable.
- לְהִתְקָרֵא (léhitqaré) - Verb HITPAEL: to be named, to be called.
- מִקְרָא (miqra) - Male name: Bible; legend, key (of a map).
- לְהִיקָּרֵא (léhiqaré) - NIFAL verb: to be named, to be called; to be nicknamed; be read.
- לְהַקְרִיא (léhaqri) - HIFIL verb: read aloud.
The root “קרא” evokes the concepts of reading and naming, covering both the action of reading and that of calling someone by name.
It also extends to the idea of readability (qari), emphasizing the clarity of a text, as well as the act of reading aloud (léhaqri), illustrating the vocal sharing of writings.
Additionally, this root includes the notion of being named or called, both in the literal sense of the term and in the figurative sense of acquiring a nickname.
From a broader perspective, the term "mikra", derived from the same root, is used to refer to the Bible, highlighting the close connection between this root and the concept of reading and interpreting sacred texts.
