Gera
Gera (proper noun): a personal name borne by several individuals in Israelite genealogies, possibly meaning 'a grain' or 'kernel' (botanical sense). The name itself does not transparently carry a specific lexical sense beyond use as a name, but may be associated with the idea of 'grain' or 'seed' if connected with the root גֵּרָה (gērāh, 'grain, kernel, bean').

Gera
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal name; no pronominal suffix or verbal stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp). As a personal name, its lexical sense is not transparently active; therefore it is rendered as "Gera," while recognizing its probable nominal association with "grain" or "kernel" from the same root family. |
