and Ruth
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + feminine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the feminine proper name רוּת. Since the name’s root and meaning are uncertain and it functions exclusively as a personal name, the most faithful root-aware rendering is to preserve the name itself with the conjunction. |
