1. Miriam (proper name) — A feminine proper noun referring primarily to Miriam the prophetess, sister of Moses and Aaron (Exodus 15:20-21; Numbers 12, 20:1, 26:59; Deuteronomy 24:9; 1 Chronicles 4:17; Micah 6:4). Multilingual glosses consistently transliterate the name: English 'Miriam,' Spanish 'Miriam/Miryam,' Hindi 'Mariyam/Miryam' (मरियम/मिर्यम), Arabic 'Miryam' (مِرْيَمُ), Korean 'Miriam' (미리암), Swahili 'Miriamu.' The two clusters differ only by prepositional prefix (lamed 'to') and conjunction (waw 'and'), not by referent. 15×
