1. Arpad (city name) — The proper noun Arpad (אַרְפַּד), an Aramean city-state in northern Syria frequently mentioned alongside Hamath in Assyrian conquest oracles (2 Kgs 18-19, Isa 10, 36-37, Jer 49). Multilingual evidence confirms a single geographic referent: eng 'Arpad', spa 'Arfad/Arpad', hin 'अर्पाद', arb 'أَرْفَادَ', kor '아르백/아르밟', swa 'Arpadi'. The two clusters differ only in prepositional framing (conjunctive 'and Arpad' vs. comparative 'as/like Arpad'), not in the identity of the place. 6×
