SIBI-P1 Translation H286-01
Brother is born
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (personal name), nominal clause formation from two roots. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a nominal clause built from אח (brother) and ילד (to bear/beget), most plausibly meaning 'brother is born.' Rendering it this way preserves both root elements rather than substituting a conventionalized proper name. |
