1. Ekron (Philistine city) — The proper noun Eqron refers to one of the five principal Philistine cities, located in the northern Shephelah. All four clusters represent the same toponym with only prepositional and conjunctive variation (bare form, with min/mem 'from', with waw 'and', with lamed 'for/to'). Multilingual glosses confirm a single referent throughout: Spanish 'Ecron/Ekron', Hindi 'Ekron', Arabic 'Aqrun/Aqruwn', Korean 'Egeuron', and Swahili 'Ekroni'. No semantic distinction exists between these clusters -- they are purely morphosyntactic variants of the same place name. 22×
