The word nauakh (𐤍𐤅𐤇), nakh (𐤍𐤇), or “Noah” is associated with two meanings. The first meaning is that of “rest” from which the meanings of “to rest”, and “rested” are derived. The last association of the word is with the patriarch who survived the flood, 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh).
𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh) is the 𐤀𐤁 (ab) of 𐤔𐤌 (Sham), 𐤉𐤐𐤕 (Yaphat), and 𐤇𐤌 (Kham). Also, he was found to be pure and devout to the Most High. Thus, the Most High, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (Yahauah) / 𐤉𐤄𐤉𐤄 (Yahayah) spared him from the flood. He is considered the post-flood 𐤀𐤃𐤌 (Adam) since he is given dominion over the earth with his three 𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌 (banayam). He divides the lands between his three 𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌 (banayam) who survived the flood and their wives so they may go and repopulate the world.
