Sounds Like: AR-fad
Translations: Arphad, Arpad
From the root: ΑΡΦΑΔ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word is a proper noun, referring to Arphad (also known as Arpad), an ancient city in Syria. It is often mentioned in conjunction with Damascus and Hamath in biblical texts. The form ΑΦΑΔʼ is likely an elided or variant spelling of ΑΡΦΑΔ, possibly due to scribal variation or a phonetic shift, as suggested by the contextual variant ΑΡΦΑΔʼ. The apostrophe at the end could also potentially indicate a numeral, but given the context of a place name, it is far more likely to be an elision or a scribal mark.
