A feminine plural noun denoting shoots or branches, specifically of a grapevine. Isaiah 16:8 uses the term to describe the vine of Sibmah (east of the Jordan), whose 'shoots' once reached distant lands, symbolizing the region's former prosperity. The imagery connects agricultural abundance to political/economic reach—Sibmah's viticulture was so successful that its influence extended far beyond local boundaries. The plural form (שְׁלוּחוֹת) with third-feminine suffix (שְׁלוּחֹתֶיהָ 'her shoots') personalizes the vine, typical of prophetic poetry that treats cities and regions as living entities. The root relates to 'sending forth' (שָׁלַח), capturing how vine branches extend and spread.
