kal.neh is a proper name used for a place named alongside other cities and kingdoms in comparison and travel clauses.

The attested forms function as a proper place name: Amos 6:2 names it as a destination in a sequence of travel commands, while Isaiah 10:9 places it in a comparison with another city.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Calneh” in both verses: as a place to pass through in Amos 6:2 and as the first member of a comparison in Isaiah 10:9. It confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
