Hidden-Place toward Double Fig-Cakes
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, compound place-name; dual element in דבלתים; final ה is enclitic directional (locative) suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound toponym joins עלם (hidden/concealed) with דבלתים (dual form related to fig-cakes), and the final directional ה marks movement or orientation toward the place. The rendering preserves both root meanings and reflects the locative directional morphology. |
