Ecclesiastes 2.23} compare LCB^1879,1339. In many cases, however, the meaning of proper names compared with אח is dubious, & perfect consistency, especially in comparison with compounds of אָב, seems impossible; compare remark below אביאל and further We^{Skizzen, iii. 1 f}, Dl^{Pr. cap. vi}) — אַחְאָב 1 Kings 16:28 +; וּכְאֶחָב Jeremiah 29:22 —
