SIBI-P1 Translation H8050-01
to El-has-heard
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (“to/for”) + masculine singular proper name שְׁמוּאֵל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל (“to/for”) prefixed to the proper name שְׁמוּאֵל, built from שמע (to hear) and אל (God). Rendering it as “El-has-heard” preserves the theophoric structure and verbal sense inherent in the name. |
