נֵעָה

# Neah (נֵעָה) Based on the provided lexical data, Neah is a Hebrew proper noun that appears only once in the biblical text. With a single occurrence, this word functions as a place name rather than a common noun with semantic range or variable usage patterns. The lexicon identifies it simply as "Neah" without providing etymological information, geographical context, or functional description beyond its identification as a place designation. The extreme rarity of this term—appearing just once in the entire Bible—limits what can be determined about its significance or usage patterns. Unlike words that appear multiple times and allow lexicographers to trace their range of meanings, a hapax legomenon (single occurrence) provides minimal evidence for establishing broader linguistic or theological importance. The word's presence in the biblical corpus indicates it held enough geographical or historical importance to be recorded, but the available lexical data does not reveal what made this location noteworthy or how it functioned within its narrative context.
