Chul
and Hul
Chul (also rendered Hul), a personal name referring to an individual named as a son of Aram in genealogical lists, as well as possibly the region settled or associated with his descendants. The term primarily functions as a proper noun denoting a specific figure within the Shem-Aramite genealogical framework, as well as a geographic or ethnological location tied to his legacy. Its lexical meaning as a common noun ('circle') is not directly active in these uses, but the form and root suggest that association.
