וְ֭/אִיּוֹב
𐤅/𐤀𐤉𐤅𐤁
Iov
and-Job
Personal name: Iyov (Job), an individual noted in biblical literature as the central figure of the book bearing his name. The lexical meaning of the name is uncertain; later Hebrew tradition and some scholarship connect it with the concept of 'enmity' or 'persecution', possibly meaning 'object of hostility' or 'the persecuted one,' but the exact derivation and meaning remain debated. Functionally, the word is used solely as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible.

and Iyov
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + proper masculine singular noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the proper name אִיּוֹב (Iyov). As the word functions solely as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, it is preserved as a proper name, while its possible connection to the root איב (to be hostile) is reflected in the lexical background rather than forced into the rendering. |
