| Ostensibly, 'aperim' is the name of a character in the book of Genesis commonly spelled "Ephraim" and known as the second son of Joseph. | Ostensibly, 'aperim' is the name of a character in the book of Genesis commonly spelled "Ephraim" and known as the second son of Joseph. |

| | The name appears to be based on the root word 'aper' which means "ashes", with the suffix [[im]], yielding a literal translation of "the Ashen Ones". Given the plural form it seems likely that the character was named after a group known as the Ashen Ones but whom do not appear elsewhere within the ancient Hebrew corpus. |

| | Although... a pair of references in Psalms((Psalms 60:7, Psalms 108:8)) could be read with this interpretation: |
| | |
| | //Gilead, Manasseh **the Ashen Ones** my head Judah inscribes// |
| | |
| | It should also be noted that the "sons of Aperim" were //twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men of valor men famous throughout house of their father//((1 Chronicles 12:31)), so they don't really have the reputation of a small tribe of sheep herders as one might expect. A fearsome band of warriors might indeed go under the banner of "the Sons of the Ashen Ones" |
