Arabia
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, place/people name; appears with prefixed preposition ב ("in"), but the lexical form itself is singular and uninflected. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper noun referring to the geographic region and associated peoples of the desert and steppe lands southeast and east of ancient Israel. As a proper name, it is best rendered directly as "Arabia," preserving its ethnogeographic identity rather than the unrelated verbal senses of the root. |
