| Core Meanings | proper name, likely of foreign (possibly Hurrian or Akkadian) origin |
| Semantic Range | Personal name of two Babylonian-era figures: a king of Ellasar (Genesis 14:1, 9) and a captain of Nebuchadnezzar’s guard (Daniel 2). |
| Conceptual Significance | Aryok represents foreign imperial authority in both patriarchal and exilic narratives. The name anchors key moments where Israel interacts with surrounding powers, highlighting the broader geopolitical context of the biblical story. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; appears with definite pointing as a personal name. No verbal stem or pronominal suffix; indeclinable in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular proper noun (Np) referring to a specific man. As a name of foreign origin with no clear derivation from a Hebrew root, it is best rendered by transliteration, preserving its identity as a personal name and its masculine singular form. |
