Avvi: Avvi

Original Word: עַוִּי
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Avvi
Pronunciation: ahv-VEE
Phonetic Spelling: (av-vee')

Meaning: an Avvite

Word Origin: Derived from the root עַוָּה (avah), which can mean to bend, twist, or pervert.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Avvi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a people group in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term "Avvi" refers to a people group mentioned in the Old Testament. They are identified as one of the ancient inhabitants of the land of Canaan, specifically in the region of Philistia. The Avvites are noted for their displacement by the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor (likely Crete).

Cultural and Historical Background: The Avvites were part of the broader Canaanite culture, which was characterized by a polytheistic religion and a society organized into city-states. The Avvites, like other Canaanite groups, were eventually displaced or assimilated by incoming peoples, such as the Philistines. This reflects the dynamic and often tumultuous history of the ancient Near East, where migrations and conquests frequently altered the demographic landscape.
