1. Elam (proper noun, person/clan) — Proper masculine name Elam (עֵילָם), referring to several individuals in post-exilic genealogies (Ezra, Nehemiah) including heads of families who returned from Babylonian exile and those who sealed the covenant. Multilingual glosses consistently transliterate the same anthroponym: eng 'Elam / and-Elam', spa 'Elam / y-Elam', arb 'عيلام / و-عيلام', kor '엘람 / 그리고-엘람', swa 'Elamu / na-Elamu'. The two clusters differ only in whether the conjunction waw is prefixed, which is a grammatical variation not a semantic distinction. 11×
