Kore
Proper noun; personal name 'Qôreʼ,' meaning 'caller,' 'one who calls' or 'proclaimer.' Used as the name for two Israelites in the Hebrew Bible. Derived from the verbal participle of the root קרא ('to call, proclaim, read aloud'), the form denotes someone engaged in the act of calling or proclaiming in some capacity. In biblical usage, the term functions strictly as a masculine personal name and does not carry the occupational sense outside its etymological origin.

the one who calls
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, best rendered as a verbal adjective. "The one who calls" preserves the core idea of vocal summons or proclamation inherent in the root קרא. |
