Isaiah 60

The gloss glory appears 4 times in Isaiah 60 below, verses 1, 2, and 13. In the KJV it appears 9 times. The other 5 are adornment and variations. And for this root KJV uses beauty but only once in the passage. I have glossed these roots as follows (so far):

יפה beautiful, beauty, fairest, fairness, miracle
כבד glory and variations glorified, glorious, heavy, liver, and pile
פאר adorn, diadem, pallor (this last only in Joel 2:6 and Nahum 2:11) - it is instructive to see what emerges after so many years working on this puzzle.

You will see that I recognize homonyms (in hope) and that I try not to reverse overlap the Hebrew - i.e. I elect not to use the same English gloss for several Hebrew roots.  (But in some cases that still proves so awkward that I bend to common English usage.)

You is everywhere singular feminine, ךְ, there are 39 occurrences in the chapter. It's all about 'you'.
