1. The state of being a widow · dominant

   In Genesis 38:14 and Genesis 38:19, the singular construct form occurs with garments that are removed and then put on again; the APB renders these as "widow's garments." In 2 Samuel 20:3, the same singular construct form describes women kept apart until death, and the APB renders the clause "kept in widowhood." Isaiah 54:4 uses the plural construct form in a promise that the reproach associated with this state will no longer be remembered.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through "widow's garments," "widowhood," and "the reproach of your widowhood." These render the surrounding clauses rather than establish separate lexical senses.
