SIBI-P1 Translation H2739-01
Snub-Nose One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); attested only as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name appears to derive from a compound involving the passive participle of חרם ("cut off" or "devoted") and אף ("nose"), likely conveying the idea of a shortened or flattened nose. Rendering it as "Snub-Nose One" preserves the probable descriptive sense while reflecting its masculine singular proper-name form. |
