SIBI-P1 Translation H3171-01
and El-Lives
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + proper masculine personal name יְחִיאֵל (Yᵉchîʾēl). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines חיה (to live) with אל (El), expressing either a declaration ('El lives') or a wish ('May El give life'). The prefixed conjunction וְ means 'and,' so the form is rendered 'and El-Lives' to preserve both the theophoric structure and morphology. |
