SIBI-P1 Translation H222-02
El is my light
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name; theophoric compound of אוּר + אֵל with first-person singular pronominal element implied in the -י form ('my'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אוּר (light, shining, flame) from the root אור with the theophoric element אֵל (El, God), forming a declarative compound meaning 'El is my light.' This preserves the root sense of shining/light and reflects the structure of a masculine singular proper name. |
