Hidden Place
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (place name) with -וֹן (-on) locative/toponymic ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root עלם meaning 'to hide' or 'be hidden,' with the masculine nominal suffix -וֹן (-on) commonly used in place names. "Hidden Place" preserves the root sense while reflecting its function as a toponym. |
