SIBI-P1 Translation H5731-04
from Eden-Delight
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) + proper masculine singular noun עֵדֶן (place name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition מֵ conveys "from," and עֵדֶן is a proper toponym derived from the root meaning delight or luxuriance. Rendering it as "Eden-Delight" preserves both its status as a place name and its etymological sense of luxuriant pleasure. |
