Asher
from Asher
Proper name designating 'Asher,' one of the sons of Jacob/Israel; also refers to the tribe descended from him, the territory later allotted to that tribe, and in one instance, a location sharing the same name. The primary sense is as a personal and tribal identifier, rather than conveying a descriptive quality. The word is a theophoric proper name, and its actual lexical meaning functions exclusively as a designation.

from Asher
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (min, "from") with assimilated nun (מֵ) prefixed to proper masculine singular noun אָשֵׁר (Asher). |
