Red-One
| Root | חמר (ḥ-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | redness, ruddy color, clay, heap, ferment |
| Semantic Range | donkey (the animal, likely named for its reddish-brown color); the personal name Hamor, a Canaanite chief |
| Conceptual Significance | As a personal name, Hamor is a Hivite leader in Genesis and father of Shechem, placing him within key covenantal narratives involving intermarriage and boundary-setting. The underlying sense of "redness" reflects common ancient naming practices based on physical traits or animal associations. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; absolute form; functions as a personal name (Hamor). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲמוֹר derives from the root חמר, associated with redness or ruddy color. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it refers to a specific man named for this characteristic, hence "Red-One," preserving both the root sense and the masculine singular form. |
