Zaham
Proper name referring to 'Zaham,' a personal name borne by a descendant of Shimei of the tribe of Judah in the monarchic period (1 Chronicles 23:10-11). The name likely conveys the sense of 'loathing' or 'disgust,' reflecting the apparent verbal root meaning, but as a proper name its function is to identify an individual rather than to convey a general sense of abhorrence.
