Anah
Proper name referring to multiple figures in Edomite genealogies, used for both male and possibly female individuals. In narrative contexts, designates a person known as ʻĂnâh, with no inherent meaning apart from identification as a personal name. The name's meaning is uncertain, though it may be connected to the root ענה ('to answer, respond'), but this link remains conjectural. Within biblical texts, עֲנָה appears strictly as a personal or genealogical designation without explicit lexical sense beyond personal identification.
