SIBI-P1 Translation H1195-01
Son of Affliction
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; personal name (anthroponym) derived from בן + ענה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name likely combines a contracted form of "son of" (בַּ < בֶּן) with the root ענה, most plausibly in the sense of "afflict/oppress." Rendering it as "Son of Affliction" preserves the root meaning while reflecting its function as a masculine personal name. |
