1. Tekoa (place name) — The proper noun referring to Tekoa, a town in Judah about 10 miles south of Jerusalem, home of the wise woman (2 Sam 14) and the prophet Amos (Amos 1:1), also fortified by Rehoboam (2 Chr 11:6). All four clusters represent the same toponym with different prepositional frames (bare, beth 'in,' min 'from,' directional). Spanish renders 'Tecoa/Teqoa,' Arabic uses 'تَقوعَ/تَقُوعَ,' Hindi uses 'तकोआ,' Korean uses '드고아/르고아/떼고아,' and Swahili uses 'Tekoa.' These are purely grammatical variants of one proper noun with no semantic distinction. 7×
