SIBI-P1 Translation G2494-01
of Iōnan
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive; proper name in genitive case indicating relationship or descent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form Ἰωνὰμ denotes possession or lineage, thus rendered "of Iōnan." The transliterated proper name preserves its function as a genealogical identifier rather than translating its possible Hebrew meaning. |
