SIBI-P1 Translation H460-01
God-has-added
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; theophoric compound personal name (אֵל + יסף). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אֵל (El, God) with the verb יסף (to add, increase), forming a theophoric compound meaning that God has performed the action of adding or increasing. Rendering it as "God-has-added" preserves the verbal force of יסף and the divine subject inherent in the name. |
