Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: yarkah
Pronunciation: yar-KAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yar-kaw')
Definition: Rear, remote part, recesses, farthest part
Meaning: a thigh

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֵךְ (yarek), meaning "side" or "flank."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yarkah," the concept of remoteness or extremity can be found in Greek words like ἄκρον (akron, G206), meaning "extremity" or "highest point."

Usage: The Hebrew word "yarkah" typically refers to the farthest or most remote part of a location, often used to describe the extremities or recesses of a place. It can denote the rear or back part of something, such as a building, a land, or even the heavens. The term is used to convey the idea of distance or remoteness, both physically and metaphorically.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of space and geography was often understood in terms of proximity and distance from a central point, such as a city or a temple. The "yarkah" would be considered the outermost or least accessible part of a territory, often associated with mystery or the unknown. This understanding reflects the ancient worldview where the center was seen as the place of order and civilization, while the peripheries were associated with chaos or the wilderness.
