Tsair
to Zair
Tsair (Tsâʻîyr) is a geographic place name referring to a settlement or location within the territory of Edom (also known as Idumaea). The primary lexical meaning relates to the identification of a specific site, rather than a common noun. The name itself is derived from a root meaning 'small' or 'insignificant,' suggesting a 'small place' or 'insignificant town,' but as a proper noun, it simply designates this particular locality.
