“Alian: i.e. lofty, \[Strong's H5935\]. Both these variations are also caused by the mutation of י yood and ו wav; the former being written עלון \[Strong's H5935\], Alvan, and עלין \[Strong's H5935\], Alian; and the latter, שׁפו \[Strong's H8195\], Shepho, and שׁפי \[Strong's H8195\], Shephi. Gen 36:23, Alvan, Shepho Shephi: i.e. my bareness; my prominence, \[Strong's H8195\]. שׁפי. Aiah. The difference here is only in the translation; the original being uniformly איה \[Strong's H345\], Aiyah. Gen 36:24, Ajah. 1 Chronicles 1:41”
