and Mouth-of-All
| Root | פה + כל (p-h + k-l) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, speech, utterance; all, whole, entirety |
| Semantic Range | Personal name of a Philistine leader; possibly connoting a spokesman, representative, or chief officer who speaks for all. |
| Conceptual Significance | Phicol appears as a commander under Abimelech in Genesis, likely functioning as a military or royal spokesman. The name "Mouth-of-All" may reflect anפקיד role as representative voice of the king or people, highlighting the structured leadership among the Philistines in the patriarchal narratives. |
| Morphological Notes | וּ־ conjunction ("and") + masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffixes; personal name in absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name פִּיכֹל (Pîykôl) is traditionally understood as a compound of "mouth" (פֶּה) and "all" (כֹּל), yielding the sense "Mouth-of-All." Rendering it this way preserves the apparent root meanings behind the proper name. The prefixed וּ־ is the conjunction "and," and the form is a masculine singular proper noun, reflected in the singular name. |
