Daberath
Dăbrath is a place name designating a town on the border of the tribal territory of Issachar and near that of Zebulun, identifiable in biblical texts as a Levitical city. The term refers specifically to this locality and does not bear a broader lexical meaning beyond its toponymic function. Its form imitates a feminine noun pattern, likely based on association with a perceived root, though the exact semantic connection is unclear.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1705-01
Dabrath
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (place name) with -ת ending; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a feminine-pattern proper place name derived from the root דבר, but it functions solely as a toponym with no active lexical meaning in usage. Therefore it is rendered by transliteration, preserving its identity as a specific locality rather than imposing an unattested root-based gloss. |
