    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every occurrence. In Genesis 11:20 and Genesis 11:21, the APB renders Reu as fathering Serug; in Genesis 11:22 and Genesis 11:23, it renders Serug as living and fathering Nahor. 1 Chronicles 1:26 lists the name with Nahor and Terah.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Serug” in paternal lineage statements and in a list with “Nahor, Terah.” These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
