Leah
A personal name, Leah; most notably the first wife of Jacob and mother to several Israelite tribes. The primary lexical reference is to an individual rather than a common noun, though the root connection suggests the meaning 'weary' or 'wearied.' The semantic range is largely proper-nominal, referring almost exclusively to the biblical matriarch.

Weary One
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name derives from the root לאה meaning "to be weary." Rendering it as "Weary One" preserves the feminine singular personal form while retaining the root’s core sense rather than obscuring it behind a conventional name form. |
