Gedor (Enclosure)

Root	גדר (g-d-r)
Core Meanings	to wall up, fence in, enclose, build a hedge, shut in
Semantic Range	enclosure, wall, hedge, fortified place; by extension a settlement characterized by defensive walls or boundaries
Conceptual Significance	Names derived from גדר reflect the importance of boundaries, protection, and fortified settlements in ancient Israel. As a place name, Gedor evokes the idea of security and separation, themes that resonate with covenantal identity and the guarded inheritance of the land.
Morphological Notes	Proper noun (HNp); masculine singular; used as a place name in Judah and as the name of three Israelite men. No pronominal suffix or plural marking present.
Rendering Rationale	The name גְּדוֹר derives from the root גדר, meaning "to enclose" or "to fence in." As a proper noun (masculine singular), it designates a specific place or person whose name embodies the idea of an "Enclosure." The rendering preserves the singular proper-name form while making the root meaning transparent.
