akh.ziv is used as a proper place-name in city lists, a border description, and a prophetic statement about its houses.

The attested form functions as a proper place-name: it is listed among cities, marks the endpoint of a border description, names inhabitants not dispossessed, and identifies houses in a prophetic statement.

Senses in use

  1. Proper place-name in geographic and prophetic settings · dominant

    All four occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 15:44 the APB renders it within a list of cities; in Joshua 19:29 it renders the border's outgoings as reaching it. Judges 1:31 includes it among places whose inhabitants Asher did not dispossess, while Micah 1:14 refers to its houses in a prophetic statement.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the form as “Achzib” in each occurrence: in city and border material, among inhabitants associated with places, and in the phrase “the houses of Achzib.” Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these renderings confirm the verse-level place-name use rather than isolate every grammatical contribution.
