מִזָּ֑ה
𐤌𐤆𐤄
Mizah
Mizzah
A personal name referring to an Edomite leader, specifically one of the sons of Reuel and grandson of Esau. The term itself functions as a proper noun and does not carry inherent lexical meaning beyond denoting this individual within genealogical records of the Edomite clans. The suggestion of a meaning related to 'terror' or 'fainting with fear' is tentative and based on speculative etymology rather than established usage.

Mizzah
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular personal name (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The term functions solely as a personal proper name in the Hebrew text, with no demonstrable lexical meaning from a known Hebrew root. Since the etymology is uncertain and unattested in usage, it is faithfully rendered by transliteration as a name. |
