Silence
| Root | דמם (d-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | silence, stillness, quietness, cessation, being struck dumb |
| Semantic Range | silence, stillness, quiet, hushed condition, deathly silence; by extension a place characterized by stillness or desolation |
| Conceptual Significance | Dumah appears as an Ishmaelite tribe and Arabian region (Genesis 25:14; 1 Chronicles 1:30) and in Isaiah 21:11 in a prophetic oracle. The name’s association with "silence" deepens the prophetic tone, evoking watchfulness, foreboding, or desolation, and linking geography with theological symbolism. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; feminine singular absolute. Occurs as the name of a tribe/region (descended from Ishmael) and as a geographical designation in prophetic literature. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name דּוּמָה (Dûmâh) derives from the root דמם, "to be silent" or "be still." As a feminine singular proper noun (HNp, HNcfsa), it retains the sense of "Silence" as a place-name, preserving both the root meaning and the singular feminine form inherent in the Hebrew noun. |
