wisdom
chokh.mot denotes insight shown building, speaking publicly, and standing beyond a fool's reach.
The attested use presents insight as an active, personified figure that builds and speaks, and as a quality possessed by women or inaccessible to a fool; Psalm 49:4 contains the form, but the translation does not isolate its contribution.

The plural absolute form is the acting subject in Proverbs 1:20, where the APB renders the clause "Wisdom sings in the street," and in Proverbs 9:1, where it renders "Wisdom has built her house." In Proverbs 24:7 the APB presents it as too high for a fool, while Proverbs 14:1 tags the construct form as an adjective and renders the women's wisdom as building her house.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "Wisdom" in Proverbs 1:20, Proverbs 9:1, and Proverbs 24:7, and "wisdom" in Proverbs 14:1. In Psalm 49:4 it renders the verse with "proverb" and "riddle," so the form's specific contribution is not isolated by the translation.
