and Coast-of-the-Palm
| Root | אי תמר (ʾ-y / t-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | coast, isle, region; palm tree, date-palm |
| Semantic Range | Proper name of Ithamar, the fourth son of Aaron; carries the literal imagery of a coastal or island region marked by palms. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ithamar was a son of Aaron and progenitor of a priestly line. Preserving the underlying imagery highlights the Hebrew tendency to embed geographical or natural symbolism within personal names, even for central priestly figures. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffixes; simple waw-conjunctive plus personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אִיתָמָר is understood as a compound of אִי (coast, isle) and תָּמָר (palm tree), yielding the sense "Coast-of-the-Palm." The prefixed וְ is the conjunction "and," and the form is a masculine singular proper noun, which this rendering preserves while making the root imagery transparent. |
