The form is tagged as a Proper Noun throughout. In Genesis 30:21 the APB renders Leah’s naming of a daughter; in Genesis 34:1 it identifies her as Leah’s daughter and Jacob’s child, while Genesis 34:13, Genesis 34:25, Genesis 34:26, and Genesis 34:3 place the named person within the conflict involving Shechem and her brothers.
