Proper name [Hebrew]

IPA: /k(e).ˈna.ʔan/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew], /kă.ˈna.ʕan/ [Tiberian-Hebrew] Forms: כְּנַעַן [canonical], k'ná'an [romanization]
Etymology: Uncertain. Suggested to be from a West Semitic root from the base verb *kanaʕ- (“to be low, humble, subjugated”), Hebrew כָּנַע (kānaʕ), Aramaic כְּנַע (kənaʕ, “to bend, to kneel”), Arabic قَنَعَ (qanaʕa, “to beg”), Ge'ez አቅንዐ (ʾäḳnəʿä, “to arrange”), which could have been used in contrast with אֲרַם (“Aram”) with the latter derived from a word for highlands. Compare Phoenician 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 (knʿn), Arabic كَنْعَانُ (kanʕānu).
