SIBI-P1 H576-02

and Answer

Rootענה (ʿ-n-h)
Core Meaningsanswering, responding, replying; (by extension in other stems) afflicting, humbling
Semantic RangeAs 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 SignificanceAppearing 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 NotesConjunction ו ('and') + proper noun (Np), singular. The name עֲנָה (ʿĂnâh) is borne by two male Edomites and one female Edomite in the genealogies.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
