Notes


  1. It is from the Hebrew 'adam "human" (without the definate article), ha' adam, "humanity" (with the definite article), which is a collective and therefore never used in the plural; literaly, it means "mankind" (Köhler-Baumgartner). It is also related to the Hebrew 'adom, "red," and 'adamah, "earth; land" (Ibid., p.13) (RFS)
