qᵉrâʼ
let-be-called
To call out, summon, or proclaim; to address someone vocally, often by name, to shout, cry aloud, or recite. In Aramaic usage (primarily in exilic and post-exilic biblical literature), it encompasses calling or inviting individuals, making public announcements, reading aloud from written texts, and prayerfully addressing deity. Although derived from a root meaning 'to call' or 'cry,' the word in Aramaic maintains a more general sense and can refer to formal reading, recitation, or public summons, as well as to personal and emotional appeals.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he will be called

| Rationale | The verb is passive ('will be called', not 'he will call himself'); SILEX and context require the passive for accurate English, as others will call Daniyel by this name. |
