SIBI-P1 Translation H216-02
Beor
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root בער (“to burn”), this form functions exclusively as a masculine proper name in biblical usage. Therefore it is rendered simply as the personal name "Beor," preserving its morphological identity rather than importing an unattested lexical sense. |
