בַ/שְּׁתִ֖י
𐤁/𐤔𐤕𐤉
shᵉthîy
in the warp
A fixed set of threads running lengthwise in a loom through which the transverse threads (weft) are woven. In biblical use, refers specifically to the foundational threads (warp) stretched taut before weaving begins, providing structural stability for fabric production. The term is sometimes used metonymically for the process of weaving or cloth production as a whole, but strictly refers to the longitudinal threads in contrast with the weft ('erev').
