Hidden-Place
| Root | עלם (ʿ-l-m) |
| Core Meanings | to hide, conceal, be hidden, be unknown |
| Semantic Range | hidden, concealed, secret, unknown; by extension names indicating obscurity or seclusion |
| Conceptual Significance | As a Levitical city (Josh 21:18), the name may reflect geographic seclusion or symbolic hiddenness. Place names formed from עלם often preserve memory of terrain, character, or theological motifs of concealment and revelation within Israel’s landscape. |
| Morphological Notes | HNp: Hebrew proper noun; singular place name. No verbal inflection; masculine by default as a toponym. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper noun עַלְמוֹן derives from the root עלם meaning "to hide" or "be concealed." Rendering it as "Hidden-Place" preserves the root sense while reflecting its function as a singular proper place name (masculine singular). |
