| Rendering Rationale | The noun is an agent form derived from the root ארה, "to tear or snatch," designating the animal characterized by such tearing violence. "Tearer-lion" preserves both the lexical identity (lion) and the underlying root sense of a rending predator, while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form. |
