Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אַלְמֹן m. widowhood, figuratively used of a state bereft of its king, Isaiah 47:9.

I. אַלְמָנָה f. a widow. (Arab.أَرْمَلَةُ Aram. ܐܰܪܡܰܠܬܳܐ) Genesis 38:11; Exodus 22:21, etc. Root אָלַם No. 3. Metaph. used of a state bereft of its king, Isaiah 47:1. (Compare verse Isaiah 47:9, and 54:4.)

II. אַלְמָנוֹת f. pl. Isaiah 13:22, palaces, i.q. אַדְמָנוֹת (which is itself the reading of some copies), the letter ר being softened into ל as is frequently the case. Compare אַרְמוֹן. Others retain the idea of a widow, and understand desolate palaces.
