SIBI-P1 Translation H875-09
and Well
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + proper noun, feminine singular (absolute form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּאֵר denotes an excavated water source—a well—derived from the root meaning "to dig." As a proper feminine singular noun with prefixed conjunction וּ, it is rendered "and Well," preserving both the conjunction and the root-based sense underlying the place-name. |
