================

Summary
-------

Proper nouns are names (usually, of people or places).

Article
-------

In the example below, מֹשֶׁ֗ה "Moses" is a proper noun (because it is a
name), but אִ֖ישׁ "man" is a :ref:`noun_common`.
Biblical Hebrew does not have capital letters to signify proper names.
Proper nouns always appear in the :ref:`state_absolute`
and are considered :ref:`person_third`
:ref:`number_singular`
when used as subjects of verbs, direct objects, or referred to by
personal pronouns or pronominal suffixes. They can be either
:ref:`gender_masculine`
or
:ref:`gender_feminine`.
