(, ayn (compare Arabic Ain)): The Hebrew word for spring or fountain (Gen 16:7; Num 33:9; Neh 2:14; Pro 8:28 (feminine plural)). It occurs in numerous compound words, as EN-GEDI, EN-HADDAH, EN-HAKKORE, EN-HAZOR, EN-RIMMON, EN-ROGEL, EN-SHEMESH (which see). In the same way the word Ain is a very common component of Arabic names of places throughout Palestine and Syria at the present day. Places with names compounded with En- were almost certainly located near a spring. See FOUNTAIN; WELL.<\/p>\n
