Built-One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); no pronominal suffix; hypocoristic form derived from בנה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root בנה (to build). Rendering it as "Built-One" preserves the root meaning while reflecting its function as a masculine singular proper name formed from the idea of one who has been built or established. |
