To All:

Here is a question as to the definition of a word.

Proverbs 8:21 Y$ appears to be a noun. As far as I can tell, this is the only 
use of this lexeme in Tanakh where it appears to be a noun.

The dictionary I have here gives no clue as to its possible meaning, is there 
any definition in other dictionaries? Cognate languages?

I know the usual definition is “there is” and it is rather common in Tanakh 
with this meaning, but in this verse the context seems to call for a 
different definition.

Any thoughts?

Karl W. Randolph.
