SCRIPTURE

"Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There hath been no prostitute here." — Genesis 38:21 (ASV)

Where is the harlot ... ?—Hebrew, Where is the kedeshah that was at Enajim by the wayside? “Enajim (the two founts) by-the-wayside,” seems to have been the full name of the village. (See Genesis 38:14.)
