Rock
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | As a masculine singular proper noun derived from the root denoting formation by pressure, the name preserves the concrete image of a massive rock or cliff. Rendering it as "Rock" retains the root-based sense of compressed strength and solidity inherent in the lexeme. |
