SIBI-P1 H5780-02

ʿŪts (Counsel)

Morphological NotesHebrew proper noun (masculine singular). Appears as a personal name (a descendant of Aram; also linked to Seir) and as a territorial designation.
Rendering RationaleThe proper name עוּץ is traditionally rendered “Uz,” but it is derived from the root עוץ, meaning “to counsel” or “to plan.” Rendering it as “ʿŪts (Counsel)” preserves the phonetic identity of the name while making transparent its connection to the root sense of counsel or deliberation. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it refers to a specific individual or region bearing this name.
