| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal or place name). |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root meaning "to be white," this form functions morphologically as a proper masculine name. In narrative usage it serves as an identifier, so the faithful rendering preserves the name rather than reintroducing the adjectival sense. |
