Onam ("Strong-One"); in construct with 3mp suffix: "their Onam (their Strong-One)"
| Root | און (ʾ-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | strength, vigor, generative power, potency, substance |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, it identifies an Edomite and an Israelite individual; the underlying root conveys strength, vigor, or generative potency. |
| Conceptual Significance | Personal names built on און reflect the cultural value placed on strength and vitality. In biblical narrative, such names may subtly echo themes of human strength or its limits under divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Some occurrences appear as masculine singular construct with third masculine plural pronominal suffix (HNcmsc/Sp3mp), indicating possession ("their Onam"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root און (ʾ-w-n), denoting strength or vigor, so "Strong-One" preserves the root sense embedded in the proper name. The base form is a masculine singular proper noun, reflected in "Strong-One." Where the morphology shows a masculine singular construct with a 3mp suffix (cmsc/Sp3mp), the rendering "their Onam" accurately reflects the possessive form. |
