Wandering
| Root | נוד (n-w-d) |
| Core Meanings | to wander, to be a fugitive, to move to and fro, to lament, to shake |
| Semantic Range | wandering, exile, restless movement, fugitiveness, lamentation (in extended usage of the root) |
| Conceptual Significance | Nod is the land to which Cain departs after judgment (Genesis 4:16), embodying his condition as a restless wanderer. The name reinforces the theological theme of exile and estrangement from the presence of יהוה, making the geography itself a reflection of Cain’s fate. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp), singular; place name. Derived from the verbal root נוד. No pronominal suffix or plural marking present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper noun נוֹד (Nôd) derives from the root נוד (n-w-d), meaning "to wander" or "to be a fugitive." Rendering it as "Wandering" preserves the verbal idea embedded in the name while reflecting its singular proper-noun form (HNp), referring to a specific place characterized by wandering. |
