1. Noph (Memphis, Egyptian city) — The ancient Egyptian capital city Memphis (Hebrew Noph/Moph), located south of the Nile Delta, frequently mentioned in prophetic oracles against Egypt. All four clusters represent the same toponym with different prepositions: bare nominative (Noph/Memphis), with be- (in Noph), with waw conjunction (and Noph), and with min (from Noph). Multilingual glosses are uniform: Arabic Nufa, Spanish Nof/Menfis, Hindi Noph/Nop, Korean Nong/Not, Swahili Nofu/Memfisi. These are purely grammatical variants of one place name. 7×
