1. Meunim (people group) — All four clusters refer to the same ethnic/people group, the Meunim (also spelled Maon/Meonim/Meunaim). The variation across clusters reflects only grammatical prefixes (article, conjunction, preposition) and Kethiv/Qere spelling variants, not distinct referents. Arabic consistently renders Ma'unim (مَعُونِيمَ/مَعونيمَ); Korean uses Merunim (메우님/므우님); Spanish uses 'meunim/meunitas/meonim'; Hindi renders mardekai-like forms (मेऊनीम/मऊनीम/मईनी); Swahili uses Meunimu/Wameuni. All point to a single Edomite-related people group mentioned in Chronicles. 6×
