Iram
Iram: a proper name designating an individual, specifically one listed as a leader among the descendants of Edom (Idumaean), appearing in genealogical contexts. The name itself is derived from a root associated with 'city,' but as a personal name, it does not necessarily denote literal connection with a city or urban function. In biblical usage, 'Iram' identifies an Edomite chief, not a geographic location or a descriptor of urban status.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5902-01
Iram
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; personal name (Edomite chief). The form historically derives from עִיר (city) with a nominal ending, but functions as a fixed name. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root meaning "city," this form functions as a proper personal name. As a singular proper noun, it is best rendered transliterated as "Iram," preserving its identity as an individual rather than a literal "city" expression. |
