SIBI-P1 H576-02
and Answer
| Root | ענה (ʿ-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | answering, responding, replying; (by extension in other stems) afflicting, humbling |
| Semantic Range | As a verbal root, ענה can denote answering, responding, testifying, singing responsively, or (in other stems) afflicting and humbling. As a proper name, it likely reflects the sense of 'answer' or 'response.' |
| Conceptual Significance | Appearing in Edomite genealogies, the name highlights the common biblical practice of embedding verbal roots within personal names, preserving theological or experiential themes—here possibly commemorating divine response or notable events associated with 'answering.' |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו ('and') + proper noun (Np), singular. The name עֲנָה (ʿĂnâh) is borne by two male Edomites and one female Edomite in the genealogies. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וַ/וָ ('and') attached to the proper noun עֲנָה, a singular personal name derived from the root ענה ('to answer, respond'). Rendering it as 'Answer' preserves the root sense while reflecting its function as a singular proper name joined by the conjunction. |
