קוֺעַ proper name, of a people named with Babylonian, Chaldean, Assyrian, ׳(מְּקוֺד וְ)שׁוֺעַ וְק Ezekiel 23:23 Šô±a and †ô±a; identification by Dl^{Pa 235} with Assyrian Sutû, Kutû (abbreviated Su (? see שׁוֺעַ) and [by inference] Ku), east of Tigris, on border of Elam and Media; compare COT^{Ezekiel 23:23} Dr^{Hast. iii, KOA}; but קוֺעַ = Kutû now doubted by Wkl^{Altor, Forsch. ii. 2 (1899), 54}.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

קוֹעַ an unused root; Arab. قاع Med.Waw, Conj. I. VIII. to cover the female, as a male camel. Hence

קוֹעַ Ezekiel 23:23, prop. apparently, a stallion; hence figuratively, a prince (as rightly given by the Vulg. and Hebrew interpreters); a metaphor of frequent use amongst the Hebrews and Arabs, compare עַתּוּד, and Arab. فَحْلُ, قَرْمُ, قَِريغُ all of which denote a male camel for the breeding of a noble race, and also a prince. There is added, paronomastically, שׁוֹעַ happy, rich. Others regard וְקוֹעַ and שׁוֹעַ as opposites, high and low, taking this from the root وىع, some of the derivatives of which signify low, ignoble.
