Zillah
A personal name, Tsillah, feminine; primarily known as a woman in the antediluvian genealogies (specifically, a wife of Lamech and mother of Tubal-cain and Naamah). The name likely means 'shade' or 'protection,' and by extension may imply 'one who provides shade' or 'sheltered one,' but in biblical context functions exclusively as a proper name.

Tsillah
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun; in some occurrences appears in construct with 3fs pronominal suffix, but lexeme is a feminine name formed with the -ah ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a feminine proper name derived from the root meaning "shade" or "shadow." Because it functions exclusively as a personal name in biblical usage, it is faithfully rendered by transliteration while retaining its root-derived identity. |
