   In Genesis 46:16, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs within the list of Gad's sons; the APB renders the list with “Shuni.” In Numbers 26:15, the same proper-name form occurs in the clan enumeration, where the APB renders “Shuni, the clan of the Shunites.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Shuni” in both verses, first in a list of Gad's sons and then in a clause naming a clan. The clan-form wording should not be treated as a separate rendering of the lemma itself.
