@ Davidbena, 178.233.217.114, and Loew Galitz: hi. "Shared etymology" in the sense of "shared Semitic etymology" is correct, but the text seems to imply "shared Phoenician etymology", which I believe to be wrong. Phoenicians/Canaanites were speaking a Semitic language similar, or in the case of the Late Bronze/Iron Age I Canaanites rather identical with ancient Hebrew (Canaanite origin of the Israelites). Isn't Hebrew "ha-gader" or the equivalent word in Aramaic or another language from the regional Semitic continuum the origin of names such as Gedera, Gadara and Hammath Gader, maybe even Hadera (with the last one I'm afraid I'm overstretching)? Especially names of places far from the coast or south of the classical Phoenician area are less likely to be Phoenician in origin. Arminden ( talk) 12:34, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
