OET (OET-RV) Yavan’s sons were Elishah and Tarshish, and Kittim[fn] and Dodanim.
10:1 These names ending with ‘-im’ (the Hebrew plural) are possibly the names of the ensuing tribes (e.g., ‘Kittites’) and not the individuals. (Similarly for v13-14.)

These are the names of Javan’s sons, but the next two names are the names of people groups that descended from him. Alternate translation: “named Elishah and Tarshish, and he was the ancestor of”

Most translation teams transliterate people group names in the Bible, but handle the suffix endings in different ways. For example, you could: (1) transliterate the Hebrew plural suffix “-im”; or (2) use a suffix that your language has for names of people groups (such as “-ites” in English); or (3) translate “-im” as “people” or “people/ethnic group.” Try to be consistent in how you handle people group names throughout this chapter and the rest of the book of Genesis. Alternate translation: “the Kitt people group and the Dodan people group.”
10:4 Elishah is probably Cyprus.
• Tarshish is possibly southwest Spain (see study note on Jon 1:3).
• The Kittim were inhabitants of southern Cyprus.
• The Rodanim were inhabitants of the island of Rhodes, later a territory of Greece.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
