Kinerot
of Chinnereth
Kinneroth (plural form) refers to a specific region and (by extension) settlement by the Sea of Kinneret in the Galilee, named likely for its proximity to the lake. The singular Kinneret names the freshwater lake ('Sea of Kinneret') as well as the town or district adjacent to it. The term may bear an etymological association with the Hebrew word for 'lyre/harp' (kinor), possibly in reference to the shape of the lake but this is not certain. In context, the plural form emphasizes a territory or collection of settlements or features associated with Kinneret.
