SIBI-P1 `H851-02`

Hearing-Place

Root	שׁמע (š-m-ʿ)
Core Meanings	hearing, listening, obeying, heeding, responding
Semantic Range	A geographic location; by root association, a place characterized by hearing, obedience, or responsive attention.
Conceptual Significance	As a place name built on the concept of hearing/obedience, it subtly reflects the central biblical theme that covenant life is grounded in attentive hearing of YHWH’s voice (שׁמע), linking geography with the theology of obedient response.
Morphological Notes	Proper noun, singular; place name formed from the root שׁמע with a prefixed aleph and nominal pattern typical of toponyms.
Rendering Rationale	The name derives from the root שׁמע, meaning "to hear" in the sense of attentive listening or obedience. Rendering it as "Hearing-Place" preserves the singular proper-noun form (HNp) while making transparent the underlying idea of hearing or obedient response embedded in the name.
