Serug
Personal name: Serug, an ancestor in the genealogical line between Arpachshad and Abraham, appearing in Genesis as a patriarch in the ancestral line of the Israelites. As a proper noun, it does not carry an independent lexical meaning beyond denoting this individual. The form may be connected morphologically to a term for 'tendril' but functions strictly as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Serug
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root שׂרג (‘to intertwine, twine’), this form functions strictly as a masculine proper name in the Hebrew Bible. As a personal name, it does not actively convey the verbal root meaning in usage, so it is rendered by its established name form. |
