פריון   n.m.  garden/bridal chamber


  garden/bridal chamber  LJLA.  TgJob8:16 : ועל פריוניה ינקותיה יפוק  [=MT וְעַל גַּנָּתוֹ יֹנַקְתּוֹ תֵצֵא].

The targumist is being splendidly playful here, even more so than usual. By choosing this form, all of the following literary and lexical allusions are covered with one fell swoop: the source BH term ‏‏גַּנָּתוֹ and both its content and its similarity to גנון, "bridal chamber;" and the form פורינא, "bridal litter" and its BH cognate ‏אַפִּרְיוֹן and its context in Song of Songs 3:9. All of this play is echoed in (or echoes) PsJon Dt.32:50: אתקין ליה פוריינא וקטר ליה גננא בגוי;. See also s.v. פורין #2.
