# Kallai (H7040): A Proper Name in Biblical Text Based on the lexical data provided, קַלַּי (Kallai) is a proper noun that appears only once in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word with semantic range, it functions as an identifier for a specific person or place rather than conveying a generalizable meaning. The single occurrence limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or contextual significance through the biblical corpus alone. Without additional lexical information specifying the identity or role of Kallai in that single biblical reference, we cannot determine from this data alone whether the name held particular cultural or religious significance, or whether it represents a common or uncommon designation in ancient Hebrew. The rarity of the occurrence—appearing only once across the entire biblical text—suggests it was either a minor figure or location, or possibly a variant spelling of a name that appears elsewhere under a different form.
