Zimeri
was Zimri
A personal and group name meaning 'Zimri.' Primarily used as a proper noun: (1) the name of several individual Israelites in various genealogies and narratives; (2) the name of a non-Israelite (Arabian) tribe. The meaning of the name is uncertain but is possibly connected to the root meaning 'to make music/sing,' suggesting 'my music' or 'my joyful song,' although this is speculative. As a proper name, it is not directly used in modern lexical senses apart from its referential and genealogical function.

Zimri
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal or ethnonymic name with -î ending; no verbal or nominal inflection beyond name form. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root זמר (to sing, make music), this form functions morphologically as a proper personal or tribal name. In biblical usage it serves strictly as a referential name rather than a transparent lexical expression such as 'my song.' |
