What are "Shem v'Sheir v'Nin v'Neched"?

1.

Megilah 10b:"Shem" is the writing, "Sheir" is the language, "Nin" is the kingship, and "Neched" (grandchild) is Vashti.

2.

Rashi: "Sheir" is She'eris (a remnant), "Nin" is a son who rules over his father's kingship (Belshatzar), and "Neched" is the grandson (Vashti).

3.

Radak: "Shem" is anything that recalls his name. "Sheir" is a relative, like "Ish Ish El Kol Sheir Besaro" (Vayikra 18:6). "Nin" is the son, and "Neched" is the son's son. Also Targum Yonasan says so.
