Spring-of-Gardens
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; compound place name in construct form (עין + plural גנים); singular toponym. |
| Rendering Rationale | This compound toponym joins עין (spring, fountain) with the plural of גן (garden), yielding the meaning 'spring of gardens.' The hyphenated rendering preserves the construct relationship and the place-name function while retaining the root imagery of flowing water nourishing enclosed gardens. |
