a.tad is used as a named threshing-floor location and as a common noun personified among trees.

The common-noun use is most visible in the tree speech of Judges 9:14 and Judges 9:15, where it is addressed as a potential ruler and speaker; it also occurs in Psalm 58:10, though the APB clause does not isolate its contribution. In Genesis 50:10 and Genesis 50:11, the form identifies the threshing floor where mourning takes place.

   In Judges 9:14 the common masculine singular form is addressed by all the trees as one asked to reign over them. In Judges 9:15 it speaks of its shadow and of fire coming from it; Psalm 58:10 has the same common masculine singular morphology, but the APB rendering does not make its specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the Genesis occurrences in the phrase "the threshing floor of Atad" and explicitly names "the Atad" in Judges 9:14 and Judges 9:15. In Psalm 58:10, the supplied APB text does not show a corresponding English term; the paraphrase is not word-aligned.
