Senses in use

  1. Proper name in personal listings · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Ezra 10:30, the form occurs in a list introduced as people from the sons of Pahath-moab; the APB renders the list beginning “Adna, Chelal, Benaiah.” In Nehemiah 12:15, it stands in the brief listing “Adna for Harim, Helkai for Meraioth.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “Adna” in both verses, once within a longer list of names and once in a paired listing. It confirms the name’s presentation within each verse rather than every syntactic detail.
