I am having problems understanding this so called 'sere impure' which is described in the dictionary under this word AVeyDaH (something lost). Had I seen this word without the vowels I would have said that it was a feminine participle and translated it as "someone or something which is lost, (obviously I know that it is a noun). But having read the lexicon and seen this I am actually more confused, trying to apply reverse logic I assume that if this "noun" was not with a 'sere impure'? then it would have been pointed as AVDaH or AVaDaH???????? I really have no idea!

Can someone please explain. What would it be IF this was not a 'sere impure' (whatever that is supposed to mean)?
