    The form is tagged as a proper noun in all four occurrences. In Genesis 36:23 and 1 Chronicles 1:40, the APB renders it within the list of Shobal's sons; in 1 Chronicles 2:26 it names Atarah's son, and in 1 Chronicles 2:28 it identifies the father of Shammai and Jada.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Onam” in each occurrence, within genealogical lists and family statements. This reflects the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical rendering.
