Stronghold (Azzah)
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, fierceness, intensity, power |
| Semantic Range | strong, mighty, fierce, harsh; as a proper noun, the Philistine city of Gaza. |
| Conceptual Significance | A principal Philistine city, often representing entrenched opposition to Israel. Its name, rooted in the idea of strength or might, reflects its historical role as a fortified stronghold and enduring center of power in the southern coastal region. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular absolute; place name derived from the adjective עַז (strong, fierce) from the root עזז. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עַזָּה is a feminine singular proper noun (HNp). Rendering it as "Stronghold" preserves the core sense of the root עזז (strength, might), while retaining its identity as a place name by appending "(Azzah)." The feminine singular sense aligns with the grammatical form of the city’s name. |
