Alemet
Alemeth
Proper name designating both a location and individuals; primarily refers to a town in the territory associated with the tribe of Benjamin and to two distinct Israelite men in genealogical lists. The underlying meaning, based on the likely root, relates to 'concealment' or 'covering.' In place-name usage, can suggest 'hidden place' or 'concealed habitation.' As a personal name, possibly an indication of a hoped-for quality (e.g., protection, hiddenness) but essentially functions as an identifier.

Hidden-Place
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (Np); prefixed conjunction וְ in the surface form; functions as a place name and personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root עלם meaning "to hide" or "conceal." Rendering it as "Hidden-Place" preserves the root sense of concealment while reflecting its feminine noun form used as a proper name for both a town and individuals. |
