SIBI-P1 `H6147-02`

Awake-One

Root	עור (ʿ-w-r)
Core Meanings	wakefulness, arousing, stirring, vigilance
Semantic Range	awake, watchful, vigilant; used as a personal name
Conceptual Significance	As a personal name borne by two Israelites (notably Judah’s firstborn in Genesis 38), it carries the connotation of wakefulness or vigilance. In narrative context, the meaning may stand in ironic tension with the moral failure and judgment associated with Judah’s son Er.
Morphological Notes	Masculine singular proper noun (HNp); likely derived from a verbal root עור in a stative/adjectival sense meaning "awake" or "watchful."
Rendering Rationale	The name עֵר derives from the root עור meaning "to awaken" or "to rouse." Rendering it as "Awake-One" preserves the root sense of wakefulness or vigilance while reflecting the masculine singular proper noun form (HNp).
