Southland (Teman)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular absolute; place name derived from the root ימן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper noun derives from ימן (‘right hand/south’), reflecting the ancient east-facing orientation where the right side indicated the south. Rendering it as “Southland (Teman)” preserves both its directional root sense and its established identity as a named Edomite region. |
