Kin-People (Ammon)
| Root | עם (ʿ-m) |
| Core Meanings | people, kin, nation, clan, tribal community |
| Semantic Range | The individual Ammon (son of Lot), the Ammonite people as a tribal nation, and the geographic territory they inhabited east of the Jordan. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ammon represents a kin-nation related to Israel through Lot, embodying both familial connection and recurring hostility. The name’s root connection to "people" underscores themes of shared ancestry, tribal identity, and covenantal tension among related nations. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (HNp). A gentilic and territorial name derived from עם with the -וֹן (-ôn) ending, functioning as a singular proper name referring to a person, people group, or land. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name עַמּוֹן derives from the root עם (ʿ-m), meaning "people" or "kin." Rendering it as "Kin-People" preserves the root sense of tribal or familial identity, while retaining "(Ammon)" identifies the proper singular name indicated by the morphology (HNp, proper masculine singular noun). |
