Noʿah
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a feminine proper name derived from the root נוע (“to move, wander”). Because it functions exclusively as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, it is best rendered by transliteration while preserving its root connection in lexical analysis rather than converting it into a descriptive phrase. |
