1. Havilah (proper noun, place/people name) — A proper noun referring to the land or people of Havilah, appearing in both the Table of Nations (Gen 10:7, 10:29; 1 Chr 1:9, 1:23) as a descendant of Cush or Joktan, and as a geographical region (Gen 2:11; 25:18; 1 Sam 15:7). All three clusters are purely grammatical variants — conjunction-prefixed 'and-Havilah' (arb: وَحَوِيلَةُ, kor: 하윌라, swa: na-Hawila), preposition-prefixed 'from-Havilah' (spa: desde-Javilá, hin: हवीला-से), and article-prefixed 'the-Havilah' (arb: حَوِيلَةَ, swa: Havila). No semantic distinction exists across these syntactic frames; the referent is the same toponym/ethnonym throughout. 7×
