("shadow", i.e. protection). One of Lamech's two wives (Genesis 4:19-23). (See LAMECH; ADAH "ornament".) Mother of Tubalcain and Naamah ("lovely".) The names mark the growing voluptuousness and luxury of the Cainites. It was the period of transition to art and refinement, attended with the evils which often accompany such times.
