Asa
| Root | אסא (ʾ-s-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | uncertain; possibly healing, restoration (proposed) |
| Semantic Range | Personal name designating Asa son of Abijah, king of Judah, and another individual of Levitical lineage; possibly carries an underlying nuance of healing if derived from a related Semitic root. |
| Conceptual Significance | King Asa of Judah is remembered for covenant faithfulness, religious reforms, and reliance upon יהוה, though later narratives note moments of misplaced trust. His name becomes associated with reform, covenant loyalty, and the tension between reliance on divine help and human alliances. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; used as the personal name of a king of Judah and a Levite. No pronominal suffixes or verbal features; functions syntactically as a proper name. |
| Rendering Rationale | אָסָא is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp) referring to a specific male individual. As a personal name of uncertain derivation, the most faithful rendering preserves the name itself while recognizing its masculine singular reference in context. |
