Villages of Jair
| Morphological Notes | Proper name (toponym); feminine plural noun in construct (חַוּוֹת) + masculine singular proper name (יָעִיר). |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a compound toponym formed from the feminine plural construct of חוה ("villages, settlements," from "to dwell") joined to the proper name Jair. "Villages of Jair" preserves both the plural settlement sense and the possessive construct relationship. |
