1. Timnah (place name) — The proper noun תִּמְנָה referring to the town of Timnah (also Timnath/Timnathah), a place in the Shephelah region associated with Judah's encounter with Tamar (Genesis 38), Samson's Philistine wife (Judges 14), and various territorial lists (Joshua 15, 19; 2 Chronicles 28). All three clusters are the identical place name in different prepositional and conjunctive frames: S145383 (8x, absolute/directional 'Timnah' / 'to Timnah'), S145386 (2x, locative 'in Timnah'), and S145387 (2x, conjunctive 'and Timnah'). Multilingual evidence is completely uniform: Spanish Timnat throughout, Arabic تمنة / تمنته consistently, Hindi तिम्ना/तिम्नाह, Korean 딶나/디므나 (transliteration variants), Swahili Timna. No semantic distinction exists. 12×
