SIBI-P1 Translation H6100-06
and from Backbone-of-a-Strong-Man
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition מִן (assimilated to מֵ) + proper noun (place name), singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name combines imagery of "backbone/rib" (עצה) and "strong man" (גבר), so the rendering preserves the compound’s root sense rather than substituting a conventional place-name form. The prefixed conjunction and preposition (וּ + מִן) are reflected in "and from." |
