1. Gentilic designation for people and villages · dominant

   The masculine singular gentilic form is attached to named men: in 1 Chronicles 11:30 the APB renders Maharai and Heled son of Baanah with the designation, and in 2 Kings 25:23 it identifies Seraiah son of Tanhumeth among the men who came to Gedaliah. The same form occurs with villages in 1 Chronicles 9:16 and Nehemiah 12:28, where the APB renders people dwelling or gathered from villages "of the Netophathite."
