-'sekem' is sometimes taken to mean "predawn", and sometimes simply the name of a town, aka "Shekem".
+'sekem' is sometimes interpreted to mean "predawn", and sometimes "shoulder".
-It may or may not be related to [[seqem]]
+The shoulder meaning probably stems from the appearance of the predawn sun hiding behind a hill, looking like a shoulder of the land. The name of the town of "Shekem" doubtless is named after this very phenomenon.
