and Immer
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + proper masculine singular noun (clan/personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper name referring to a priestly clan or individual descendant, not a descriptive noun derived from the verbal root. The prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as "and," while the clan name remains transliterated since it does not function semantically as "speaking" in usage. |
