Lord of Peor
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular compound noun (deity name), composed of בַּעַל + פְּעוֹר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound proper name combines בַּעַל (lord, master, owner) with the toponym פְּעוֹר (Peor). Rendering it as 'Lord of Peor' preserves the possessive, patron-deity sense inherent in the root בעל and reflects its function as a named god associated with that place. |
