הַ/חֹרִים֮
𐤄/𐤇𐤓𐤉𐤌
Chori
the-Horites
A member of the people known as the Ḥorites, who inhabited the southern hill country of Seir before the Edomites. The term primarily designates an ethnonym, identifying the aboriginal population of the Seir region, and by extension, the land occupied by them. Less commonly, the term can be connected etymologically with cave-dwelling or inhabiting mountainous cave regions, due to association with the presumed root; however, lexical and archaeological evidence most consistently supports the ethnic/geographical usage.
