1. Tubal (proper noun, people/region) — The proper noun Tubal (תּוּבַל), referring to a son of Japheth and the people/region descended from him, often listed alongside Meshech in prophetic and genealogical texts. All translations converge on a single transliteration: Spanish 'Tubal/Tuval,' Arabic 'تُوبَالَ/تُوبَالُ,' Hindi 'तूबल/तुबल,' Korean '뛰발/두발,' Swahili 'Tubali.' The two clusters differ only in the presence of the conjunction waw ('and Tubal' vs bare 'Tubal'), which is a grammatical rather than semantic distinction. 8×
