SIBI-P1 Translation H5241-02
God-counts
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun with theophoric element -אֵל (“God”); no inflection for number or gender beyond standard name form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines an uncertain verbal element likely related to מנא (“to count, enumerate, make numerous”) with the theophoric suffix אֵל (“God”). Rendering it as “God-counts” preserves the verbal-root sense and reflects the divine name element without importing later contextual interpretation. |
