ʔyy / Semitic roots

1. Job, from Hebrew ʔiyyôb, perhaps from an early Northwest Semitic dialectal name meaning "where is the father?", from ʔiyy, where?, akin to Hebrew ʔê, where? (ʔôb, father; see ʔb. Alternately, ʔiyyôb may be akin to Hebrew ʔōyēb, enemy; see ʔyb.)

2. Jezebel, from Hebrew ʔîzebel, where is the prince?, from î, akin to ê, ʔayyē, where? (zebel, prince; see zbl).
