SIBI-P1 Translation H493-01
God-is-pleasant
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name; theophoric compound noun formed from אֵל + נעם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a theophoric compound joining אֵל (El, God) with נָעַם (to be pleasant, delightful), yielding the declarative sense "God is pleasant" or "God brings delight." Rendering it as "God-is-pleasant" preserves both root elements and reflects its compound structure. |
