1. Herod (proper name) — The proper name 'Herod' (Greek Herodes), referring to members of the Herodian dynasty in the NT -- primarily Herod the Great (Matt 2), Herod Antipas (the Gospels), and Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12). The two clusters differ only in grammatical case (nominative/genitive/accusative in the main cluster vs dative/accusative in the smaller one). Multilingual evidence is uniformly transliterated: spa 'Herodes', hin 'Herodes', arb 'Hirudus', kor 'Herot', swa 'Herode'. All 43 occurrences are the same proper noun; case inflection does not create a separate lexical sense for a personal name. 43×
