[Mesorah] Tekiaseinu

[Mandel, Seth]

Yes, but those are later meanings.  t'qi‘ah originally was ONLY the gerund. But from "blowing (gerund)" to "blast (noun)" is not that hard.  And both those meanings form Even Shoshan/Rosenstein are later developments.

At 03-10-19 at 07:31, Zev Sero via Mesorah stated the following:

I believe "tekiaseinu" in that phrase is a verb, not a noun; i.e. it refers not to the blasts but to the act of blowing, which is singular. "Kol tekiaseinu" is thus "the sound of our blowing".


In fact, as noted by Even Shoshan, teqi`a is a noun with two meanings:
1.  The production of a long sound with a wind instrument;
2.  The extended sound produced by the shofar on the Days of Awe, as contrasted with teru`a and shevarim.

There is also an apparently unrelated meaning: viz., inserting an object into another object.  (As in Yehezqel 23: teqi`at sakin . . . baqarka.)
