SIBI-P1 Translation H3448-03
and Yishay
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + proper masculine singular noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper masculine personal name with prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'). As a name, it does not function lexically from the root in usage, so it is preserved transliterated, while acknowledging its probable derivation from ישׁ ('there is, existence'). |
