SIBI-P1 Translation H3382-02
Descent
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp), nominal form derived from the verbal root ירד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root ירד meaning 'to descend' and preserves the nominal sense of 'descent.' Rendering it as 'Descent' maintains the root meaning rather than substituting a later Anglicized form. |
