My-Sheaf (Omri)
| Root | עמר (ʿ-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | heap up, gather in heaps, bind sheaves, piled grain |
| Semantic Range | Sheaf, heap of grain, gathering, agricultural abundance; as a name, associated with strength, provision, or gathered produce. |
| Conceptual Significance | Omri was a prominent king of the northern kingdom of Israel, whose dynasty shaped Israel’s political and religious trajectory. The root imagery of "heaping" or "sheaf" may evoke themes of gathered strength, provision, or consolidated power, fitting for a ruler who established a lasting royal house. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; likely formed from עֹמֶר/עָמַר (sheaf, heap) with 1cs suffix -ִי ("my"), functioning as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name עָמְרִי derives from the root עמר, "to heap up" or "to bind into sheaves." The form appears to incorporate a first-person singular suffix ("my"), yielding the sense "my sheaf." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves both the root imagery and the personal name function. |
