Trembling-Spring
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, place name (masculine); singular; element of the compound עֵין חֲרֹד. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although appearing as the proper name חֲרֹד, the lexeme derives from עַיִן (spring) and חָרַד (to tremble). Rendering it as "Trembling-Spring" preserves the full root sense of the place name rather than treating it as a mere sound label. |
