As far as I understand, at least from a Jewish religious perspective, YMiN
did not mean "right" but rather "dominant."  In other words,  the YMiN of a
left dominant individual would be his left hand.

Comments?

Jim,

My advice to you is to explore the field of Semitic teknonymy in depth. It
will help your research tremendously and avoid the pitfall of looking at
Biblical Hebrew with modern eyes, as this can be very deceptive.
