This name, Darnel, first appears in 1 Sam. xvi, 18, in Jewish history, 

 where it is written DUD, as is usual in the earlier documents, gradually 

 changed to DUID as time went on. Its early form is important, because it 

 is identical with the Hebrew word nn, DUD, a pot, kettle, basket (Job, 1 

 Samuel, 2 Kings, Jeremiah, Psalms, 2 Chronicles) from the connection of 

 which with hoiling over fire, came a verbal DUD, to boil, to be agitated, to 

 love; the plural noun DaDIM, sexual love (loves) ; the singular noun, a love, 

 a friend, an acquaintance ; and the title, DUDE, aunt, father's sister or 

 uncle's wife. Hence DUDI (my delight, Roy), the mandragora or love 

 apple. Gen : xxx, 14, Cant, vii : 14, and DUDU (Jiis beloved f) a proper name 

 (Roy). 



AEB is the regular hebrew verb to love ; ;i;MD means to love covet- 

 ously ; ;tN]Sr, to love with compassion ; ;i:SD (1D|*)> to love with benevo- 

 lence, to be gracious ; AfPZ, to love with joy and "delight ; j'SQ, to love 

 with esteem, as a companion ; IDD, simply to love, to be pleased with, 

 i. e., without sexual emotion; IDO, to love with reverence based on 

 knowledge (a mere poetical use) ; IRO, to love with worship (ditto) ; 

 0GB, to love lewdly ; Ra'M, to love as God loves and pities men ; S'CB, 

 to lie with.
