אָדוֹן
lord (noun)
This noun can refer to God, or a master.
אֲדֹנָי
Lord (noun)
This specific form is only used of God. Notice the missing cholem vav, and the addition of the patach and yod. (It is actually the plural form, just like אֱלֹהִים, with a 1cs suffix.)
אֱדֹם
Edom (noun)
Only the vowels distinguish this word from אָדָם. Be careful!
אָדָם
man, mankind (noun)
אֲדָמָה
ground, land (noun)
Closely related to the noun for “man.” Makes sense, since God made Adam from the ground.
