Footnotes
חַוָּה (Chavah, "Eve") derives from חָיָה (chayah, "to live") — meaning "Life-giver" or "She Who Lives." Crucially, Adam names her after the judgment, not before — an act of faith in the promise of 3:15. He believes that life, not death, will have the final word. F.O.G. preserves "Chavah" to keep the etymological root audible; F.O.G. Message uses the familiar "Eve" while the surrounding clause renders the meaning transparent.
