Yeshua
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, nominative, singular (proper name in subject form). |
| Rendering Rationale | This is a masculine nominative singular proper noun, functioning as a personal name. "Yeshua" preserves the Semitic name behind the Greek form without importing later theological associations tied specifically to the English "Jesus." |
