Dammeseq
| Root | דמשק (d-m-š-q) |
| Core Meanings | proper name; ancient Aramean city; capital of Syria |
| Semantic Range | The ancient city of Dammeseq (Damascus), capital of Aram (Syria); by extension, the Aramean kingdom or its political power. |
| Conceptual Significance | Dammeseq is a प्रमुख center of Aramean power and a frequent adversary of Israel in the historical books. It functions as a symbol of foreign strength, political intrigue, and divine judgment in the prophetic literature. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; place name; of foreign origin. Appears without prefixes or suffixes in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Hebrew proper noun (HNp), singular, referring to a specific city. Because the name is of foreign origin and not transparently derived from a Hebrew verbal root, the most faithful rendering preserves its Hebrew form "Dammeseq" rather than substituting the later Anglicized "Damascus." |
