Footnotes
| Sng. 7:5 | Sng. 7:5 Taken from the hint given by the rarer form דומשק. See Strong's #1746 and #7785. The name דמשק (Damaseq), traditionally understood as a foreign derived, could be analyzed as a possible Hebrew compound of the terms דומ (dum), meaning "silent" or "dumb", and שוק (shoq), meaning "leg" or more specifically the lower leg or calf. In this hypothetical compound, דומ שׁוק (dum shoq) could be interpreted as "dumb leg" or "silent leg," reflecting either a figurative description or a symbolic reference, such as an immobile or incapacitated state. Damascus is traditionally regarded as a foreign name with roots in the Semitic languages, specifically linked to the Akkadian Dimaš‡i and Aramaic Damesek, which derive from a root ד-מ-ש-ק (d-m-sh-k), meaning "to be moist" or "to flow", "well watered." |
