Shechem (Hebrew, poss. also a placename?)
Shechem (Hebrew)
I believe this might be a place name also, but what is the meaning?
Your thoughts welcome...

Obviously originally a place name, meaning "mountain ridge." The vocabulary word means "neck, shoulder."
The biblical Shechem is equated with the modern Nablus on the West Bank.
Just to say thanks. nm.
