Yishevah
and Ishvah
Proper name: Yishvah, a male personal name borne by a descendant of Asher, one of the sons of Jacob/Israel. As a name, its primary meaning is not transparent in context, but it is likely connected to the sense of 'evenness' or 'levelness' suggested by its root, though possibly chosen simply for its phonetic qualities or family tradition rather than semantic content. The word appears as a genealogical identifier in list contexts, designating a specific Israelite clan-ancestor.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3438-01
and Yishvah
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (Np) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine proper name derived from the root שוה, whose core sense relates to equality or levelness; as a personal name its semantic force is opaque, so it is preserved in transliteration. The prefixed conjunction וְ is rendered as "and," reflecting the morphology of this specific word form. |
