et.nah refers to wages, attested once in a verse about alluring and speaking tenderly to her heart.

The sole attestation identifies et.nah as a wage-related noun, but the supplied translation of Hosea 2:14 does not make its specific contribution to the clause identifiable.

    In Hosea 2:14, the form אֶתְנָה is a common feminine singular absolute noun. The APB renders the verse, “Therefore I will allure her and lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her heart,” but, as a whole-verse translation, it does not show which English wording corresponds to the noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hosea 2:14, the APB renders the verse as “Therefore I will allure her and lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her heart.” The translation does not visibly isolate a rendering for this noun.
