SIBI-P1 Translation H22-01
My Father is El
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name; compound theophoric form with first-person singular pronominal element in אבי ('my father') + אל ('El'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אָב (father) with the theophoric element אֵל (El), with the form אֲבִי indicating 'my father.' Rendering it as 'My Father is El' preserves both root meanings and the possessive structure embedded in the name. |
