Gebal
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; geographic name; no article or suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a proper noun (HNp) referring to the Phoenician city or region known as Gebal. Although derived from the root meaning "to bound, border, enclose," it functions exclusively as a geographic name in Biblical Hebrew, so it is rendered as the place-name while retaining its boundary-related etymological sense. |
