SIBI-P1 Translation H568-01
Yah has said
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; theophoric personal name formed from אמר + יָהּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root אמר (to say, speak) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), yielding the declarative sense "Yah has said." This preserves the verbal idea of divine utterance embedded in the proper masculine singular form. |
