Sayer
| Root | אמר (ʾ-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | to say, to speak, to utter, to declare |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning “speaker” or “sayer,” borne by several Israelites, including priestly figures and family heads. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a priestly family name in post-exilic and temple contexts, אִמֵּר links the idea of speaking or declaring with priestly service, where proclamation of Torah and liturgical utterance were central. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp); personal name; no pronominal suffix or inflectional variation in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name אִמֵּר derives from the root אמר (“to say, speak”). Rendering it as “Sayer” preserves the verbal idea embedded in the name while reflecting its masculine singular proper noun form (HNp). |
