1. to chant a lament, to wail (Piel) — The verb qonen in the Piel stem means 'to chant a dirge, to lament, to wail' over the dead or over impending destruction. All four clusters represent the same verbal action across different conjugation forms: consecutive imperfect (wayyeqonen 'and he lamented'), imperfect and conjunctive perfect (teqonenah 'they will lament,' weqonenu 'and they will lament'), the participle used substantivally (ha-meqonenot 'the wailing women'), and another conjunctive perfect form (weqonenu 'and they shall lament'). English: 'lamented,' 'will lament,' 'wailing women,' 'shall lament'; Spanish: 'lamento,' 'plañideras' (mourning women); Arabic: ratha (رثى 'to eulogize/lament'); Korean aedohada (애도했다 'mourned'), tonggokhada (통곡하다 'to wail'); Swahili 'omboleza' (to mourn); Hindi vilap karna (विलाप करना 'to lament'). The participle in S131952 is still the same verbal sense nominalized as 'professional mourning women.' 8×
