na.a.ma.ti identifies Zophar by a gentilic designation in the book of Job.

The term is used consistently as a masculine singular gentilic designation for Zophar: it identifies him when he answers, when he joins Job’s friends, and when he acts with the other two men.

Senses in use

  1. Gentilic designation attached to Zophar · dominant

    In Job 11:1 and Job 20:1, the masculine singular gentilic form follows Zophar as he answers and speaks. In Job 2:11, the APB renders Zophar among Job’s three friends, and in Job 42:9 it again identifies him as acting alongside Eliphaz and Bildad.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four occurrences, the APB presents the designation in the phrase “Zophar the Naamathite.” This repeated phrase confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating each component word-for-word.
