Yah has heard
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name), theophoric sentence-name form derived from שׁמע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root שׁמע (“to hear”) and reflects a shortened theophoric sentence name implying Yahweh as subject. “Yah has heard” preserves the verbal sense and the implied divine agent embedded in the masculine personal name form. |
