SIBI-P1 Translation H1403-01
Mighty-Man of El
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular personal name; theophoric compound (גבר + אֵל). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a theophoric compound of גבר (mighty man) and אֵל (El, God), expressing either "El is a mighty man" or "mighty man of El." Rendering it as "Mighty-Man of El" preserves the root meaning of strength and the masculine singular form inherent in the compound proper name. |
