Twin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine singular (proper name form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma is a transliteration of Aramaic תְּאוֹמָא meaning 'twin' and functions as a proper name. Rendering it as 'Twin' preserves the root meaning while reflecting its nominative masculine singular form as a personal name. |
