Dishon
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | Although likely derived from the root דושׁ (“to tread, trample, thresh”), this form functions exclusively as a personal name in biblical usage. Therefore it is rendered as a proper name rather than as a lexical noun reflecting the root meaning. |
