In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Nobe, barking" (101).

740. Nemra. Joshua 13:27; K. 138:10; L. 278:22.

This seems related to the earlier entries K. 44:16; K. 48:16 and possibly K.138:20).

The location is vague and no evidence that the Onomasticon made an identification. The Batanaea usually does not include the valley. The large village maybe in the northern region at Nimra . This item is out of order.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Namra, panther or bitterness" (183).

741. Naniōth. I Samuel 19:18; K. 138:13; L. 278:25.

Hexaplaric information. At best a personal name is indicated.

743. Naphath. I Kings 4:11; K. 138:15; L. 278:27.

744. Nērigel. II Kings 17:30; K. 138:16; L. 278:28.

746. Nasarach. II Kings 19:37; K. 138:19; L. 278:31.

Textual variant Nesareth (Latin).

Another idol not original to the Onomasticon (cf. K. 134:17; K. 146:26; K. 58:4; K. 36:15 and Appendix II).

Summary of biblical information (Jeremiah 43:34.). The wadi or waters of Nimrin. Perhaps related to K. 138:1; K. 44:16; and K. 48:16.

748. Nabeōth. Isaiah 60:7; K. 138:22; L. 278:35.
