The Sages of the Talmud

רב כהנא מפום נהרא Rav Kahana of Pum Nahara

Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation (c. 350–375 CE) — not named in a form this corpus separates from a namesake.

Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation

Rav Kahana of Pum Nahara, of the fifth Babylonian generation, is named in the reference tradition for the town he taught in — which is how the classical works keep the several sages called Rav Kahana apart from one another.

This edition of the Bavli does not write the name with its place attached, so he stands here at no mentions, and his citations, whichever they are, fall to one of the other entries of the name. The roster holds him at nothing rather than merging him on a guess.

Of the fifth generation.

The gematria of the name

Computed from the consonantal letters of רב כהנא מפום נהרא by the same engine that runs every search. This is the value of a NAME — no word of the Talmud is valued anywhere in this app.

This corpus never writes this name on its own. Either the Bavli does not name him at all, or every form it uses is one a sage of the same name also answers to — and this index credits nobody rather than guessing. He is in the roster, at zero, because leaving him out would be its own kind of lie.
