Wadi of El
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular place name (compound noun: נחל + אֵל). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines נחל (wadi, seasonal stream, ravine) with the theophoric element אֵל (El, God). Rendering it as 'Wadi of El' preserves both the geographical root meaning and the divine element inherent in the compound proper name. |
