1. Yeter / Jether (proper noun) — A Hebrew proper name meaning 'abundance' or 'excellence', borne by several Old Testament figures including Jether the Ishmaelite (father of Amasa, 1 Chr 2:17), Jether son of Gideon (Judg 8:20), and others in genealogical lists (1 Chr 2:32, 4:17, 7:38). All grammatical forms — nominative, with preposition (to-Jether), and variant transliterations across traditions — represent the same proper noun. Multilingual renderings confirm a single lexeme: eng 'Yether/Jether', spa 'Yeter', hin 'yeter' (येतेर), arb 'Yatar/Yathira' (يَتَر/يَثَرَ), kor 'Yederu/Yeteo' (예데르/예터), swa 'Yetheri/Yethro'. The Arabic variation (ta vs tha) reflects transliteration differences, not distinct senses. 9×
