| Root | חור (ḥ-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | hole, cave, hollow place, whiteness |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, it designates specific individuals; etymologically linked to "cave" or "cave-dweller," and related to the Horites, a people associated with cave regions. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name reflects ancient Near Eastern naming practices that often identified individuals or clans by geographic or environmental features. Its association with caves connects to the Horites, an early inhabitants group in Seir, highlighting ethnic and territorial identities in the patriarchal narratives. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; appears in absolute and construct forms. No pronominal suffixes; singular masculine personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name חֹרִי (Chôrîy) derives from the root חור, associated with holes or caves. Rendering it as "Hori (Cave-Dweller)" preserves the likely root sense while maintaining the masculine singular proper noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp; HNcmsa; HNcmsc). |
