Noph
| Root | נוף (n-w-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | elevation, height, prominence; (as a proper name) Noph/Memphis |
| Semantic Range | The city of Noph (Memphis), capital of Upper Egypt; by extension, a symbol of Egyptian political and religious power. |
| Conceptual Significance | Noph (Memphis) represents the strength, culture, and idolatrous religion of Egypt in the prophetic literature. Its mention often signals judgment upon Egypt and the downfall of worldly powers opposed to יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular absolute (HNp; HNcmsa in one instance reflecting singular absolute form). Functions as a place-name without pronominal suffixes or verbal features. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper noun (singular, absolute), referring to the Egyptian capital known as Memphis. As a place-name, it is best preserved by transliteration, “Noph,” maintaining its identity while reflecting its singular proper-noun morphology. |
