    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 4:5 the APB renders Ashhur as having two women, naming Helah and Naarah; in 1 Chronicles 4:6 it renders Naarah as bearing Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and the Haahashtari, then identifies those men as her sons.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Naarah” in both verses, first in naming Ashhur’s two women and then in the statement about her sons. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a separate English definition.
