# Analysis of יָקִים (Jakim) Based on the lexicon data provided, יָקִים (transliterated as *ya.qim*) is a proper noun—specifically a personal name meaning "Jakim." The entry indicates this is a hapax legomenon, occurring only once in the biblical text. This single occurrence severely limits what can be determined about its usage patterns or theological significance from the lexicon data alone. The name appears to function as a standard biblical personal identifier, following the convention of Hebrew names that often incorporated religious or descriptive elements. However, without additional context from the lexicon entry regarding the specific passage where it appears or the individual it identifies, no further conclusions about its historical, genealogical, or functional importance can be drawn from this data. The single occurrence and classification as a proper noun means this word contributes primarily to biblical genealogy or narrative identification rather than to broader theological vocabulary or linguistic patterns that scholars typically analyze across multiple instances.
