SIBI-P1 Translation H3388-01
Possessed-one
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun; proper name form derived from a passive participial/substantival pattern of ירשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form derives from the root ירשׁ and reflects a feminine passive participial or substantival formation, meaning "one who is possessed" or "one who is an inheritance." Rendering it as "Possessed-one" preserves the passive sense and feminine singular morphology while remaining root-faithful. |
