from Dammeseq (Damascus)

Rootדמשק (d-m-š-q)
Core Meaningsproper name, ancient city of Aram (Syria), regional capital
Semantic RangeThe capital city of Aram (Syria); by extension, the Aramean kingdom or its people; symbol of regional power, trade, and at times opposition to Israel.
Conceptual SignificanceDamascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the biblical world and frequently appears as a political and military center in Israel’s history. It represents both external threat and international interaction, highlighting Israel’s place among the nations.
Morphological NotesProper noun (masculine singular) with prefixed preposition מִן ("from"); no article; functions as a place-name of foreign origin.
Rendering RationaleThe form includes the prefixed preposition מִן ("from") attached to the proper noun דַּמֶּשֶׂק, yielding "from Dammeseq." As a singular proper noun (Np), the rendering preserves its status as a specific place name while retaining a transliterated form to reflect the Hebrew identity of the city.
