Zaanannim Zaanannim

Zaanannim is a place known for a famous oak, which also serves to mark the northern border of the territory of Naphtali.

The name Zaanannim appears to be a plural of the verb saan (sa'an 1945) meaning to move. The verb occurs only in Isa 33:20 and it has to do with the moving around of the nomads. The double nun is a mystery. Perhaps it allows association with the verb num (num 1325), sleep, slumber, be drowsy.

This way the name Zaanannim would come to mean Sleep Walkers.
