SIBI-P1 Translation H5540-01
Exultation
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; segolate noun form used as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun form סֶלֶד derives from the root סלד (“to leap, spring up, exult”) and likely denotes the abstract concept of exultation. As a proper name built on this noun form, it preserves the root idea of jubilant rising or joyful leaping. |
