Ar (the City)

Rootעיר (ʿ-y-r)
Core Meaningscity, settlement, inhabited place, fortified town
Semantic RangeA specific Moabite city; by derivation connected conceptually to the idea of an established settlement or fortified habitation.
Conceptual SignificanceAr was an important city of Moab mentioned in Israel’s wilderness journey. Its name, simply meaning "city," may reflect its prominence as a central or fortified urban site within Moabite territory.
Morphological NotesProper noun (HNp), singular; place-name. Likely derived from the common noun עִיר ("city"), a feminine noun, though functioning here as a fixed proper name.
Rendering RationaleThe name עָר is a proper noun derived from the common noun עִיר (“city”). Rendering it as "Ar (the City)" preserves its identity as a singular place-name while making explicit its connection to the root meaning "city." The morphology (proper noun, singular) is reflected in the singular rendering.
