יִסְכָּֽה
𐤉𐤎𐤊𐤄
Yisekah
Iscah
A personal name, Yiskah, borne by a female figure mentioned in Genesis 11:29 as the sister of Lot. While Strong's associates the name with a possible meaning 'to watch' or 'observant,' there is no clear evidence for this lexical meaning elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible. The word functions solely as a proper noun, a given name, without attestations as a common noun or verb.
