1. Machli (personal name) — A Hebrew proper masculine name (מַחְלִי) referring to two biblical figures: (1) a son of Merari son of Levi, ancestor of the Mahlites (Exod 6:19; Num 3:20; 1 Chr 6:4,32; 23:21; 24:26,28), and (2) a son of Mushi (1 Chr 6:32; 23:23; 24:30). Multilingual evidence confirms a single referent class: eng 'Machli/Mahli', spa 'Majli/Mahli', arb 'مَحْلِي', kor '마할리/마흘리', swa 'Mahli'. The prepositional form 'for Machli' (S110821) is merely a grammatical inflection of the same proper noun, not a distinct sense. 12×
