Tachetim Chdeshi
of Tahtim
Tachtîym Chodshîy is a place name referring to a specific locality mentioned in the territorial descriptions in the book of Samuel. The Hebrew phrase indicates a geographic site, likely within the region allotted to the northern Israelite tribes. The name itself appears to incorporate the meaning 'lower' (from תַּחְתִּים, likely meaning 'lower regions') combined with what is probably a gentilic or regional marker derived from חׇדְשִׁי, possibly denoting an association with a group or territory characterized as 'Chodshi' or 'of Chodesh.' The precise identification remains uncertain, but the name as a whole designates a lower district or settlement associated with Chodshi.

| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; compound place name; masculine plural form תַּחְתִּים in construct with חׇדְשִׁי. |
| Rendering Rationale | תַּחְתִּים is the masculine plural form of "lower" from תחת, here functioning in a place-name construct with חׇדְשִׁי, a territorial or gentilic designation. The rendering preserves the plural "lower" sense and the association with Chodshi as a regional proper name. |
