hoglah
A proper place name referring to the settlement of Beth-Hoglah, meaning 'the house of Hoglah' or possibly 'partridge house'. The term is employed in biblical geographical lists to denote a boundary site near the border of tribal allotments in the lower Jordan Valley. Contextually, the name references a specific location rather than functioning as a common noun, with the meaning varying between a literal reading ('house of the partridge') and a patronymic ('house/settlement of Hoglah', with Hoglah being a personal name).
