in designation-of

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state (Aramaic common noun).
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֻׁם means "designation" or "name" from the root meaning "to mark or designate." The prefixed בְּ adds "in," and the construct state requires the sense "of," yielding "in designation-of" to preserve both root meaning and morphology.
